Buchanan Open Bible School U-15 Crowned Champions of LFA–ISSA Special Tournament

Buchanan Open Bible School’s Under-15 team has emerged as champions of the LFA–Inter School Sports Association (ISSA) U-15 Special Tournament, following a thrilling 6–5 penalty shootout victory over Buchanan Wesley Institute (BWI) in the grand final.

The exciting three-day tournament, hosted at the Doris Williams Sports Stadium in Buchanan, brought together 16 schools from different academic institutions across Grand Bassa County. The competition has been widely described as a historic and long-awaited initiative aimed at strengthening grassroots football development among school students.

Open Bible School advanced to the final in impressive fashion, recording four consecutive victories on their way to the championship match. However, the final proved to be a tough contest as they were held to a goalless draw by Buchanan Wesley Institute, forcing the title to be decided through a penalty shootout.

In the tense shootout, both teams successfully converted their first three penalties. Open Bible missed their fourth attempt, but BWI failed to capitalize on the opportunity. Open Bible quickly regrouped and eventually sealed a dramatic 6–5 victory, sparking celebrations among their players, supporters, and school community.

This triumph further strengthens Buchanan Open Bible School’s reputation as one of the leading forces in school football in Grand Bassa County, continuing a proud tradition of excellence that has made the institution one of the most respected and competitive programs in the region.
