Signing Hometown Talent: Kayden Shaw

HENRIETTA, Texas (KAUZ) - Henrietta boys’ basketball’s leading player now knows where he’s officially headed to play next.

Senior Kayden Shaw, the program’s reigning two-time Most Valuable Player, recently signed with Schreiner College in Kerrville, Texas. He played on the Bearcats’ varsity teams for all four years of high school.

At his signing, the 6-foot-5-inch power forward talked about his journey to receiving an opportunity to play in college.

“It’s beyond exciting. I’ve been working for this for a long time, and it’s good to see that everything’s finally paying off,” the senior said.

Shaw said he talked to both the Schreiner head and assistant men’s basketball coaches for a long time on a campus visit. That’s when he then made his decision to play there next.

While playing at Henrietta, Shaw had a very decorated career beyond his back-to-back MVP awards. In his senior season, he helped bring the team to a 3A Division II state semi-finals appearance, which came with bi-district, area and regional championships on the way. The team built its 2026 playoff run after failing to make it in Shaw’s three seasons prior.

When asked what he will be bringing to his next chapter playing for Schreiner, Shaw responded by saying, “everything.”
