Ohio County High School JROTC Presents Colors at UK/WKU Game

When it was announced Kentucky would not be playing Louisville on Wednesday night, the Cats scrambled to find a new opponent, which turned out to be WKU. The teams were coming together to play and to donate more proceeds to tornado relief.

One other special moment occurred when students from the Ohio County High School JROTC would be there to present the colors in pregame ceremonies.

Kenlee Hoheimer, Kyle Lucas, Ashleigh Boggs, Atticus Stewart, and Eagan Wilshire had the honor of presenting the colors before the game Wednesday evening. The Ohio County High JROTC is under the leadership of Sergeant James Warnock and Chief Kevin Palermino. Assistant Principal April Porter accompanied the students to Lexington.
