Recognize any of these young men? This photo is from the summer of 2001 and shows a group of Bridgeport basketball players posing as part of attending the University of Rio Grande team camp that was held in Rio Grande, Ohio. This group of young men managed to post a 13-0 record and were the champs of the camp for their age division. Shown in the photo, front row from left, Logan Ash, Thomas Izzo, and Ryan Powers. Back row, from left, is Coach Jason Young, Stephen Young, Alex Myers and Rio Grande Coach Ken French.

This is a submitted photo of Washington Irving's 1968 varsity basketball team. There should be plenty of familiar names - and some legendary ones - that are included in this photo.
