The Ohio Crossover Athletics Best Offensive Player Award is given to a player who exemplifies excellence on the offensive end of the court. This player not only has the ability and confidence to take and make big shots for his team, but is willing to share the basketball and put her teammates in position to score. I am proud to announce that the winner of the 2012 OCA 7th Grade Girls (Dowd) Best Offensive Player Award is Maddie Haberthy from St. Ignatius Loyola School.
Maddie is a great perimeter shooter and ball handler. She led the team in three-point shooting this season. At the Red Hawk Classic she helped the team advance to the championship game with a last second three pointer against the Dayton Lady Hoopstars-Red in the semi-final game. Congratulations Maddie!
