SPRINGDALE — Kaden Henley pulled his gold helmet back on the top of his head and walked toward the sideline when the horn sounded Wednesday.
Under a brilliant summer sun, Henley’s Shiloh Christian Saints had claimed a victory against Little Rock Christian in the Southwest Elite 7-on-7 tournament in Champions Stadium. Henley and his teammates hurried to find relief in the shade before their next game in pool play.
The past six-plus months have been a whirlwind for the senior. In December, Henley led the Saints to the Class 4A state championship. A few weeks after hoisting the championship trophy, Henley got an offer from the University of Arkansas.
