Future rivals, forever friends
Posted Feb 6, 2006
Wayne Ellington and Gerald Henderson are two of the nation's top high school basketball prospects. They're also teammates and best friends. But something is about to come between the two Episcopal Academy seniors. It's college basketball's biggest rivalry, and the teammates will suit up on opposing sides. Henderson, a slashing, dunking 6-foot-5 guard/forward, is going to Duke. Ellington, a 6-4 guard who can handle the ball and knock down long jumpers, is going to North Carolina.
