John Henson's high school career ends with playoff loss

Posted Feb 26, 2009
As time expired, Sickles senior center John Henson looked to the scoreboard with a frown on his face. The highly-recruited, 6-foot-11 McDonald's All-American walked off the court, weaving his way through dozens of Lakeland students and players rejoicing in a 48-43 upset against his visiting fifth-ranked Gryphons on Tuesday. "My high school career is over," Henson said. "It's not a good feeling right now." (Tampa Tribune)
