Badgero athlete shines in final Tri-unity season at Breslin
Badgero, a Tri-unity senior planning criminal justice and psychology study, starred in soccer and basketball. He earned first team all conference and all district honors as center back, helped the team reach district finals, and posted a 22 4 season in basketball before a Breslin Center semifinal appearance. He logged a 13 13 double double against Frankfort, with two charges and two blocks, as Tri-unity rallied from a 23 point halftime deficit. The Breslin moment capped a standout two year ascent praised by coach Keeler, who noted Badgero’s coachable, sponge like improvement and potential for college basketball at Trinity Christian or elsewhere.
