Spring Sports Go To State
OBI freshman Isaac Cho advanced to the 2026 state tennis tournament as a 13th Region Tennis Singles Semi-Finalist. After a 6-2, 6-1 win in the first round of state, Cho was defeated in round two.
Junior Tommy Branstutter broke the regional meet record with a jump of 6’5” and became the 2026 Region 5 High Jump Champion. He placed third in the state with a jump that cleared 6’.
These OBI Track and Field athletes earned regional medals, and nine who placed 1st, 2nd or “At Large” in their events advanced to the state track meet in May, 2026.
We were blessed to have Russell Coleman, Attorney General of Kentucky, as our guest speaker in chapel on February 28, 2025.
Through a connection with the KBC, we learned that Mr. Coleman attended OBI for one semester in high school. He graciously accepted our invitation to come and share with our students.
OBI President Gritton said, “It was a great honor to have Attorney General Russell Coleman on campus. He brought an awesome Christ-centered message to our students in our daily chapel service and was so gracious and kind as he engaged with our people. OBI is proud to call Mr. Coleman one of our own, and we are thrilled to have him advocating for so many wonderful causes all across our great Commonwealth.”
