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 9th Grade Boys Best Offensive Player Award is Ryan Wake from Goshen High School.
 
When you picture a pure scorer, you can’t help but think of Ryan. He led the team in scoring with his dead eye accuracy from three point range, and his ability to create his own shot coming off screens. Ryan's ability to put the ball in the basket was an extremely valuable attribute for our team. Knowing the type of player Ryan is, I know he will continue to work on all facets of his game and strive to be a complete offensive and defensive player. Congratulations Ryan!
