You can vote online to help elect Brighton’s Drew Henson to the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame

/

As of now, there are only two Livingston County athletes in the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame – Fowlerville’s legendary Charlie Gehringer and Brighton football star Cullen Finnerty. You have the chance to help elect a third.

Brighton’s Drew Henson is a finalist in the 2020 class in the “amateur” category. While his pro career fell short of expectations, his high school career did not. He was the most celebrated high school athlete in Livingston County history, and one of the greatest in Michigan history, as well.

The Michigan Sports Hall of Fame is letting people vote online for this year’s class, and you can vote for Henson – or any of the other finalists in all the categories – by clicking HERE.

Here’s Henson’s bio from their website:
