In a display of determination and youthful exuberance, Badin High School's football team is set to chase their ninth consecutive league title this year. Last season, the team captured an eighth consecutive league title, with two entire graduating classes – 2022 and 2025 – winning league titles each year. Head coach Nick Yordy acknowledges the loss of several good players from the 2022 class, but the younger players are stepping up to fill the void.

Senior Emmett Sackenheim, who wants to prove doubters wrong, says, "I just want to prove them wrong, I guess." The strong sense of camaraderie among the team members, as expressed by senior LT King, underscores the team's resolve. This year's roster includes four players who were also part of the 2026 OHSAA Division III state champion baseball team.

Players to watch include Chase Even, Hudson Heid, Logan Karwisch, and LT King, among others. The season kicks off with games against Hamilton, Dixie Heights, Edgewood, Bishop Hartley, La Salle, Chaminade Julienne, Fenwick, Carroll, Alter (Bellbrook HS), and McNicholas.
