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 his teammates in position to score. I am proud to announce that the winner of the 2014 7th Grade Boys Best Offensive Player Award is Christian Browning from Loveland Middle School.
We relied on Christian to do a number of things to help the team. He had a lot of responsibility, but was always able to rise to the occassion. He was one of our leading scorers, one of the most reliable three-point and free throw shooters, and one of the leading distributors on the team this season. He is also an excellent ballhandler who at times was a one man press break. I expect Christian to have a great season with his school team this year and continue to improve in all areas of the game. Congratulations Christian!
