Bellaire (26-10) will battle for what would be the school's first state title on Saturday night when Henderson and the Cardinals square off against the five-time champion Duncanville High School Panthers (26-7) in the Alamodome, site of this year's NCAA Tournament Final Four.

One of four early 2025 signees for Jon Scheyer and the Blue Devils, Shelton Henderson is part of the nation's No. 1-ranked recruiting collection. He committed to the Duke basketball program in early November before putting it ink later in the month during the early signing period.
