More about Sam:
Sam “Ryno” Henderson is 16 years old (as of today!). He has been playing pool since he was 7, competitively playing since he was 8, and seriously playing since he was 11. At age 11 he started making goals for himself, and worked hard to accomplished exceed all of his goals. His latest Goal was to become a Master Pool Player before he turned 16 and he has accomplished that goal. Sam’s newest goal is to be a professional pool player by the time he graduates from high school. Sam is currently a sophomore in high school at Pleasant Valley High School in Iowa but because of the pool tournament schedule throughout the year, he participates in their Online Homeschooling program. He has all A’s and B’s in his classes and understands his education is a priority. Sam has a 9ft Diamond Pool table at home that he practices on for hours every day.
Where does Ryno’s nickname come from? – Sam’s middle name is Ryne like former Chicago Cubs Baseball Player Ryne “Ryno” Sandberg. When Sam is in a match and his opponent misses, everyone says Sam charges the table like a Rhino. We get excited when we see the Ryno Charge because usually it means he has a plan! 🦏
