Whereas, Mr. Henson came to the Crusaders following a remarkable coaching career at the high school level at Landrum High School in Spartanburg County; and
Whereas, in his eight seasons at the helm of the Class A Spartanburg County School, Coach Henson led the Cardinals to six region titles, six district titles, four Upperstate Titles, and 3 State Titles. He amassed an 182-52 record, including a 158-22 record against Class A schools; and
Whereas, Coach Henson's teams also amassed a 14-4 record versus Class 2A schools and won ten games over AAA and AAAA opponents. His twenty-four wins over teams from higher classifications were the most wins of any baseball program in the State of South Carolina over higher class programs, and Mr. Henson's teams compiled a string of eighty-two consecutive games without being shut out; and
Whereas, Mr. Henson has won numerous coaching awards and honors, including being named four-time Class A State Coach of the Year by the South Carolina Baseball Coaches Association.

His efforts throughout the first decade of the new millennium earned Mr. Henson the esteemed honor of Class A Baseball Coach of the Decade, an honor bestowed by the Diamond Prospects organization; and
