Early 2025 Duke basketball signee Shelton Henderson, averaging over 20 points, seven rebounds, and two steals per game as a prep, has powered his Bellaire High School (Texas) Cardinals to a 24-10 overall record this season. And they're now gearing up for the Texas 6A Regional Final.

The 6-foot-6, 225-pound Henderson recorded 25 points in Tuesday night's 75-66 semifinal win over the Summer Creek High School Bulldogs.

He and the Cardinals face the Seven Lakes High School Spartans (33-5) on Friday night.

Henderson is a five-star prospect currently checking in at No. 24 overall, No. 4 among small forwards, and No. 2 in Texas on the 247Sports 2025 Composite.

"Shelton has all of the makings of a high-level player at Duke," third-year Duke basketball head coach Jon Scheyer said after signing Shelton Henderson and the other three members of the Blue Devils' top-ranked 2025 haul back in November.

"His athleticism, versatility as a defender, and high-level competitiveness is everything we look for...His game is just scratching the surface, and I can't wait to coach him."
