Dan Henderson, head football coach at Branson High School, announced his retirement today. Henderson addressed his players this morning at a team meeting.
Throughout his career, Henderson’s teams earned 12 district titles and made nine appearances in State Quarter Finals. He was named the Missouri Class 3 Coach of the Year in 2006 and inducted into the Missouri Football Coaches Hall of Fame in 2011. Henderson recorded 161 wins during his 28 years as head coach. He spent 29 years coaching in Missouri schools.
“Dan is a good friend and a good coach,” said David Large, BHS activities director. “I have really enjoyed working with him for the last three years. We feel fortunate that Henderson has been the leader of our football program. His expertise on the field and his love for the game have been a strong influence on our athletes. We appreciate not only what he has done for our program, but all the high school football teams with which he has had an affiliation. We wish him the best on his retirement.”
