Coach of the year
Nick Argentati, Badin — The 1996 Badin graduate led the inexperienced Rams to a 14-10 record in 2007-08, a campaign that included a Greater Catholic League Central Division title and a Division III district runner-up finish. Argentati, 30, was Badin's reserve coach for five seasons before getting the varsity job, where he's posted a 31-35 record in three years. The Fairfield resident earned a bachelor's degree in business from Miami University in 2000 and a master's degree in education from Northern Kentucky University in 2004. Argentati, also named GCL Central Coach of the Year, teaches personal finance and accounting at Winton Woods High School.
