New Book featuring Pastor Haywood Henderson, Jr.
Coach Johnny Carter features Pastor Haywood Henderson, Jr in his new book, "The First Season". Soon it will become
a movie. God bless the coach and all involved in this wonderful endeavor. God bless Pastor Henderson!
Pastor Haywood Henderson was known as "Hollywood" Henderson during his teenage/college days of basketball. Coach
Carter could not believe the skills these young men had for the game of basketball. They played it because they loved it as
a favorite hobby, but they did not understand or know the rules of the game. Carter took them to the top by teaching them
the actual game. This is his book featuring the team of the century.
To know Pastor Haywood Henderson, a pastor, preacher and wonderful man of God, you would never have known. He gave up
the game for God when his life was almost taken from him in a tragic car wreck during his college years. Today he is the pastor
of two churches and is very sincere about the call of God. But before he heard his call, he was "Hollywood" Henderson,
the basketball pro.
