Fairmont promotes football assistant to head coach

Andy Aracri, a member of the Fairmont High School football staff for nine seasons, has been promoted from defensive coordinator to head coach, Firebirds athletic director Brian Donoher said.

Aracri, who was a three-year starter at defensive line for Fairmont before playing at Miami University, replaces Brian Blevins, who resigned last month.

Donoher said the 32-year-old Aracri handled operation of the program after Blevins resigned and has proven he’s ready for a head coaching opportunity.

“He’s a Fairmont guy,” Donoher said. “He grew up in Kettering, played for Fairmont and learned under two great coaches at Miami in Randy Walker and Terry Hoeppner. He’s passionate about Fairmont and the kids in Kettering.”

Aracri was a second-team All-Ohio selection as a senior at Fairmont in 1995 before walking on at Miami. By his sophomore year, Aracri was named the RedHawks’ outstanding defensive lineman and became an All-Mid-American Conference selection.
