Henson Crowned Div. 1 South Sectional Champion
FALL RIVER, MA — (Feb. 5, 2012) If there was ever any doubt who was tops in the 170-lb. division in Southeastern Massachusetts, then all doubts were erased last night as Barnstable High School junior co-captain Will Henson went unbeaten at B.M.C. Durfee High School and came home as the Division 1 South Sectional Most Outstanding Wrestler.
Joining Henson - who went 4-0 yesterday in the MIAA Division 1 South Sectionals - next weekend in Reading at the individual state championships will be BHS 8th grader MIke Botello (106) who came in third place, freshman Owen Murray (220), third place, and sophomore Colby McWilliams who finished in 4th place in the 138-lb. division.
Henson is only the sixth Red Raider to be crowned a South Sectional Champion since the BHS Wrestling program's inception. He joins former Red Raider champions Sean Donahue (2011), Nick Kidd (2008), Thiago Hoffman (2008), Alex Glenn (2006 & 2007) and Gonzalo Sanz (2005).
Henson is the first BHS wrestler to ever be crowned a Division 1 South Sectional Champion in the 170-lb. class, perhaps one of the most difficult classes to achieve success in state high school wrestling. He is currently ranked number two (2) in the state by masswrestling.com.
