Players on Bailey's team this year are former IU players A.J. Moye, George Leach and Tom Coverdale.

The Milan team was made up of Rod Snapp, Milan seniors Rex Parker, Matt Swisher and Stephan Laub, Emory Ogletree and Sidney
Williams from Cincinnati, Ishmieal Kamara from Columbus, Ohio and Brenden Stavers from Northern Kentucky University.
