The Ohio Crossover Athletics Most Valuable Player Award is given to a player who exemplifies excellence on both ends of the floor and is indispensable to the team's overall success.  This player has talent, intelligence, work ethic, and leads by example on and off the court.  I am proud to announce that the winner of the 2013 8th Grade Boys Most Valuable Player Award is Brandon Cox from Goshen Middle School

 

Brandon exemplified the definition of MVP during our season. He was at or near the top of many of the team’s statistical categories. He also played in every game this season. In short, Brandon could be counted on to provide the big basket or to get that much needed rebound to change the tide of a game. Not only did he provide exceptional play but he is also a great kid with a very positive attitude. He always encouraged his teammates to play hard and to give that extra effort. Congratulations Brandon!
