The Ohio Crossover Athletics Most Improved Player Award is given to a player who has made significant strides in his game from the beginning of the AAU season to the end.  These improvements are not only based on statistics, but also include the player’s mental approach, intensity and will to win that he brings to each and every game.  I am proud to announce that the winner of the 2010 OCA 11th Grade Boys Most Improved Player Award is Dillon Briscoe from Little Miami High School.

Dillon was a key player for this year’s team who increased his scoring average every month this season while playing three different positions for the team (point guard, shooting guard, and small forward depending on the situation).  He did a tremendous job during the AAU Division 1 State Championship Tournament starting every game and continued his strong play in July by posting 4 double figure scoring games and providing the team with a reliable outside scoring threat.  He also did a great job on the boards from the guard position as he grabbed 4 or more rebounds in a game 10 times this season.

I believe that Dillon Briscoe has just scratched the surface as to the kind of player that he can become.  He loves the game of basketball and is willing to put in the work that it takes to be great.  I expect Dillon to have a fantastic senior season at Little Miami High School and to have the opportunity to continue his career on the next level.  Congratulations Dillon!
