Prep Team of the Century #9: 2002-2003 Waterloo East basketball

WATERLOO, Iowa — The #9 prep team of the century featured a pair of future Division I players: the 2002-03 Waterloo East boys basketball team.

Carlton Reed and Mike Henderson led the Trojans to a 4A championship in 2003, behind a 25-1 record.

Henderson went on to an impressive career at Iowa, and Reed was a major factor at UNI.

This year we’re celebrating the best of the best from the sports world in Eastern Iowa over the last 25 years. The over-arcing theme of this series will be “The Stories of the Century”. During this year, we’ll count down the top 25 athletes, coaches, and teams from the past 25 years.

The year will be divided up into fourths, with the first portion of the year being dedicated to the best teams (both high school and college) from the last 25 years.

Every Monday we’ll be releasing two more prep teams, and every Wednesday we’ll announce two college teams who will be added to the list.
