They return five seniors:  Alex Walter, Zach Elza, Sean Laub, Grayson Miller, and Michael Brandes. They also pick up senior Brandon Withers. Other varsity players are juniors Ethan Voss, Alex Layden, and Derek Hornberger (who is both JV and varsity). Sophomore varsity players include Kurtis Kimla and John Herzog. The team also has a new head coach this year, Josh Blankinship, who came from New Albany High School.

  
    The JV team is also looking pretty strong this year. The JV team members include sophomores Nick Ryan, Ben Lawhorn, Braden Voss, Nick Walters, Jake White, and Zack Lewis. There is also one freshman, Joey Davis along with junior Derek Hornberger. The Milan Basketball team is looking forward to a good year this year.
