Teagan Henry, a senior football player at Greenon, was recently named the Dayton Daily News Athlete of the Week for his outstanding performance against Northwestern on August 28th. Henry's exceptional performance saw him pass for a school record of 420 yards, completing 33 of 47 passes and throwing four touchdowns, in addition to rushing for two more scores.
This dominant performance led his team to a 43-6 victory against Northwestern, earning him the honor through reader voting on DaytonDailyNews.com. Henry, who has been the team's starting quarterback for three years, compared playing quarterback to playing chess, emphasizing the importance of anticipating opponents' moves, setting up future plays, and the significance of every play.
The previous year, Henry had already approached 2,000 yards passing and boasted a touchdown-to-interception ratio above 3-to-1. Reflecting on his journey, Henry attributes his improved field vision and quicker decision-making to his increased experience and leadership role. He aims to inspire future Greenon Knights to achieve similar success and set their sights on winning the OHC South, a goal he believes his team was close to achieving last year.
