Henson will look to go out with a bang in her final high school season. She put together a strong spring and summer with Mavs 17 National, continuing to show the versatility that makes her such an intriguing player. The setter can do more than just run an offense. She can jump over to the right side and take quality swings when needed. With a high volleyball IQ and a strong understanding of the game, Henson can impact a match in multiple ways. After recording 199 assists and 101 kills last season, more court time and an expanded role could lead to even bigger numbers in her senior campaign. If her club season was any indication, Henson is poised to make her final year one to remember.

So here is a first. I don’t cross state lines. Prep Dig has plenty of regional and national scouts. I am getting old and prefer to play in my own sandbox. However, I watched and talked to Henson at the December 14 Prep Dig Exposure Tour Showcase in KCK. I told her that if I could help her out, let me know. Well, she let me know by sending me some footage via email. She was all over the court during the club event. She has a nice touch as a setter and a quick, tight lefty swing when hitting. She recorded 199 assists, 183 digs, and 101 kills for Blue Springs South. Henson is ranked No. 65 overall in the Missouri Class of 2027.

Henson showed she is a name to know over the next couple of years, setting and swinging for her Mavs KC team. With her size, I project her to get looks from colleges as a setter in a 6-2 system. She has good hands and placement. Her previous ranking was 164.
