Winning one state championship in one's lifetime is an amazing accomplishment, but winning three in one school year is an exceptional one. Hunter Henson of New Albany was able to do that for the 2025-26 year as he won a golf championship in the fall and added two in tennis recently for the trifecta.
Henson's tennis titles came in the form of a team state championship with New Albany the the second was in individual play as he and longtime teammate, Bradyn Bowman won the Class 4A boys championship.Â
