 Brayden Johnson won back-to-back-to-back region titles on Thursday, May 7, 2026. Edmonson Voice Sports: For the third consecutive year, Edmonson County High School senior Brayden Johnson has won the 3rd Region Boys' Singles Championship. Johnson, who finished his regular season high school career with an impressive 41-2 regional record, has defeated 26 different opponents without allowing them to win a single game. During his championship run this season, Johnson defeated Cloverport’s Waylon Poole (6-0, 6-0), Daviess County’s Eli Bivens (6-1, 6-0), Owensboro Catholic’s Oliver Haines (6-2, 6-0), and Daviess County’s Landon McDuffee (6-4, 7-6) to secure the championship. Brayden’s coach and mother, Jodi Johnson, credited both his physical abilities and relentless work ethic for his success. “Brayden has a body built for tennis,” Johnson said. “He is long, athletic, and very quick, which enables him to cover the entire court. I believe it is his determination and competitive drive that set him apart from other athletes. Whether in academics or sports, Brayden has an innate desire to be the very best, and he is willing to put in the work to get to the top.”  Johnson is presented with the 3rd Region Boys' Tennis Singles Championship trophy. Brayden is now set to play in the KHSAA State Tournament where the first round will be held at South Warren High School in Bowling Green on May 20th. He is also at the top of his class academically at ECHS & plans to attend Harvard University this fall, where he plans to major in neuroscience. He said his goal is to return to Edmonson County and open his own internal medicine practice to back to the community that has helped shaped him. In addition to his athletic accomplishments, Johnson has earned numerous academic honors, including National Merit Scholar, Coca-Cola Scholar Finalist, National Beta Scholar Finalist, the Luke Woodard Award, and ELKS Most Valuable Student Scholar recognition. Brayden is the son of Brad & Jodi Johnson (Bee Spring) and the grandson of Hulen & Ronna Sanders (Bee Spring) & Brenda Johnson (& the late Leroy Johnson) of Glasgow.
