Former Monarch Bragg rises to professional ranks

It would have been hard to imagine when Austin Bragg first stepped into Ted M. Natt Gymnasium as a freshman nine years ago.

A 5-foot-10 string bean with a raw game and limited playing experience, he hardly seemed a candidate for a professional basketball career.

Heck, it wasn’t even clear Bragg — a two-year C squad player — would ever start on the Mark Morris varsity.
