Henderson for it's size very weak in sports and a definite underachiever. They dominate thier district in both boys and girls basketball against Webster and Union, both small schools. The girl's coach, Jeff Haile, well respected in state circles, won several region titles in a very weak region 2 for girls basketball but never won the state and he has had several teams capable. The only girl's team from the 2nd to ever win a state title was Union County in 1996. Henderson won baseball state championship in 2000 under the late B.T.Wayne. Even in baseball, the tide seems to be turning, Union County has won 2 of last 4 region 2 titles under Coach Chad Robison, actually a novice in coaching circles. Decent softball team but cannot advance to state. Soccer pretty good. No wrestling team, Union dominates region in that regard. Henderson usually always in the top five schools in size and I would guess has less state sports titles that anyone else in that catergory. Just my opinion.

Not sure why they can't get the numbers up but no sport has very many kids out compared to other schools their size.
