Enkhiin-Od Michael Sharavjamts, a native of Mongolia who also plays for the International Sports Academy in Willoughby, Ohio. A 6-foot-8 forward, Sh.Enkhiin-Od played in the summer, along with Centerville’s Gabe Cupps and Rich Rolf, with Midwest Basketball Club. He also played with Centerville for a time last summer.
