"When he's out there, he presents a lot of problems. He's gotten bigger and he's got more power than before. He just goes out there and does what he needs to beat you."
Karagezian was a two-time league singles champion.
Henry helped the Indians gain a share of the league championship with Arcadia during his junior campaign in 2010. Burroughs finished 16-3 — 11-1 in league — and advanced to the second round of the CIF Southern Section Division II playoffs. Henry compiled a gaudy overall record of 40-6, to go along with a 28-3 mark in league.
He's certainly not a stranger to vying for league supremacy either. After teaming last season with fellow Indian Trevor Campbell to win the league's doubles crown, Henry showed he could handle himself well in singles this season.
The top-seeded Henry went on to win the Pacific League singles championship, defeating teammate, and third-seeded, Garrett Auproux, and went on to capture four of six sets in the postseason.
It's because of those feats that Henry has been named the 2010 All-Area Singles Player of the Year by the sportswriters and editors of the La Canada Valley Sun, Burbank Leader, and Glendale News-Press.
"I think I got better every time I went out there," said Henry, who breezed to a 6-1, 6-1 semifinal victory against fourth-seeded Albert Chen of Arcadia in the league semifinal. "I stepped up my game and spent about two hours a day practicing and working out in the gym to help keep me in shape.
"Before every set, I planned out how I could win points and I stuck with it. If it worked, it worked. If it didn't, then I would just try something else."
More often than not, Henry had little difficulty picking up points and finishing his sets in less than an hour.
