2013-14 record: 21-9
Head coach: Babe Kwasniak

Arizona, Kansas and Kentucky are among the college powers in pursuit of 6-8 senior forward Carlton Bragg, who may not even be VASJ's best player at this level. That honor may go to running mate Brian Parker, a 6-2 senior guard who was Ohio's Division III Co-Player of the Year in 2013-14.
