SENATOBIA – Senatobia High School senior pitcher/utility player Leeah Henson signed her national letter of intent on Thursday to continue her softball career at Northwest Mississippi Community College.

"Leeah is a solid pick up for us and will be a great addition to our battery," second-year assistant coach Carie Dever Boaz said. "She is a finesse pitcher who can hit locations well and has a good off speed game. She can also help us at the plate and can play outfield and the corners as well."

Henson was 15-5 with a 1.35 ERA in 27 appearances last season en route to 2014 First Team All-Division 2-4A honors. She struck out 114 batters against only 15 walks in 140.1 innings of work. From the plate, Henson hit .323 with five doubles, a home run and 29 RBIs.

Henson is a three-time all-district selection for head coach Tammy Young and the Lady Warriors, also being named the team's Best Offensive and Best Defensive player during her career.

She is the granddaughter of Don Clanton, Northwest's first-ever fastpitch softball coach. 

Mike Rowan is the head softball coach at Northwest and enters his 12th year with the program in 2015.
