BEDFORD – For the first time since the school’s inaugural year, Bedford North Lawrence is looking outside of its normal boundaries for leadership in the athletic department.

Michael Babin, with previous experience at high schools in Ohio and Florida, has been hired as the new athletic director. He follows in the footsteps of Gil Fey, Ray Manis, Mike Short, Jeff Callahan and Adam Yates as the sixth man to lead the sports programs in the school’s 52-year history.

Babin comes to BNL after three years at North Central, a small school (student population of 240) located in Pioneer in northwest Ohio. He was also the AD at Liberty High School (over 1,900 students) in Kissimmee, Fla. for two years.
