Coach Gray has head coaching experience and joined the OBI family in 2024-2025 as our Middle School and JV Coach and also served as an assistant for the Varsity team. Coach Gray has great faith in the Lord, loves his family, and loves the kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coach Gray has an extensive basketball background and knows our team well. His continued work will be a blessing to OBI, our team, and our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Statement from Mr. Gritton: \u201cWhile it seemed disappointing when our recent boys’ basketball hire fell through, it has ultimately led us to who we believed to be the right coach all along, in Coach Jared Gray. Coach Gray understands OBI’s mission and knows and loves the boys, and the boys know and love him. That, coupled with an excellent knowledge of the game, makes Coach Gray the right fit for OBI, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to see him lead our boys’ basketball program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Statement from Coach Gray: \u201cI\u2019m honored to announce that I\u2019ve accepted the position of head coach of the boys basketball program at OBI. I\u2019m truly grateful for the opportunity to work alongside an incredible group of athletes, staff, supporters, and families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The upcoming season is a new chapter filled with challenges, growth, and the pursuit of excellence. My focus is on building a strong culture, developing our players, and competing with passion and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
