Dan Henderson has announced his retirement from the head football coaching position at Branson High School. A school press-release today indicated that Henderson met with his team this morning to inform them of his decision.
Henderson has spent three years as the head of the Branson Program after replacing long time coach Steve Hancock. The Pirates were 6-25 the last three seasons. He won 161 games in his career as a head coach. He won 12 District titles during his time at Mt Vernon and School of the Osage. He was named state coach of the year in 2006 and is a member of the Missouri Football Coaches Hall of Fame.
“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.”
