John Henson swatting up career chart
Posted Feb 2, 2012
With 1:38 left in last Sunday night’s first half, John Henson went airborne in the lane to swat away Georgia Tech guard Jason Morris' shot. The rejection pushed Henson to second on UNC’s all-time blocks list, passing Sam Perkins, who swatted 245 from 1980-84. “It’s a big compliment -- any time I can squeeze my name between Brendan Haywood and Sam Perkins, it’s always good," Henson said.
