Henson Wraps Up Stellar Season at New Englands
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — (March 3, 2012) As far as the state of Massachusetts goes, Will Henson came, he saw, and he conquered them all but at the New England Individual Championships yesterday he had to settle for second place.
Henson, a junior captain for the Red Raiders, defeated Elliot Antler of Xavier (CT) by a 9-8 score then advanced to the 170-lb. semifinals before falling to Christopher Chorzepa of Newington High School (CT) by a 13-2 margin.
Henson Does Barnstable Proud: State's Best in 170-Lb. Class
SALEM, MA — (Feb. 25, 2012) Bring 'em all on.
Barnstable High School junior captain Will Henson whipped through four opponents at the MIAA Division 1 All-State Tournament yesterday to become the Red Raiders' first-ever All-State Champion, just two weeks after being crowned the first eastern Massachusetts state 
champion. Henson is now qualified to test his mettle at the New Englands.
Barnstable's best on the mats by far, and perhaps one of if not the best in school history, tore through Darcut's Stig McElhinny with a pin in 1:25, then followed that up with a pin in 3:45 of Southeastern's Matt Small. He then defeated Tewksbury's Chris London by pin at 1:35 and then he faced Taconic's Jesse Kardona. In a 13-7 decision for All-State bragging rights, Henson erased even an inkling of doubt that he rules his weight class.
It was no less impressive that the Red Raiders sent an 8th grader - Michael Botello - to the All-State competition at Salem High School yesterday. Botello went 1-2 on the day.
