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 2013 OCA 8th Grade Most Improved Player Award is Logan Doss from Georgetown Junior High School.

 

This being Logan’s first time playing AAU, it took him some time to develop confidence in his game and become comfortable playing this type of basketball. However, once Logan got comfortable playing AAU basketball, he was in the top two in scoring and rebounding on a game to game basis and was one of our most consistent and reliable players. I am so excited about seeing Logan continue to improve and develop as a high school basketball player. Congratulations Logan!
