Babe Kwasniak - Cornerstone Christian Academy (OH) Boys' Basketball Head Coach

Babe Kwasniak will be starting his first season as the Boys’ Varsity Basketball Coach at Cornerstone Christian Academy in Willoughby Hills, Ohio in the fall of 2021. Prior to Cornerstone, Kwas served 10 seasons as the boys varsity basketball coach at his alma mater Villa Angela St. Joseph High School in Cleveland, Ohio.

Babe was a three time state champion as a player at VASJ under his father, the coaching legend, Ted Kwasniak. He played division one basketball at West Point where the discipline he learned at home served him well during his time in the army. Upon returning to his alma mater as the boys varsity coach in 2010 Kwas led VASJ to five straight state championship games winning it all in 2013, 2015, and 2017. His father Ted was his assistant throughout his tenure as the leader of the Viking program.

In addition to our usual hoops talk, Kwas speaks candidly about the realness of PTSD, dealing with suicidal thoughts and actions, and shares the real life struggles he has gone through over the years.
