Coach Gary Bays had this to say about the addition of Henson to the staff. "I actually got to know Beth when she played at SCAD against my teams at Warner, FL and she was always a tough competitor. I immediately pursued her to help us build the program at Brenau and I really appreciate her efforts as a volunteer for the past two years. Because of her reputation and familiarity with Northeast Georgia girls basketball, we hope to make big inroads in recruiting this area."
