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 2014 9th Grade Boys Most Valuable Player Award is Brady Funke from Loveland High School.
 
Brady plays the game exactly the way every player should play the game. He brings a level of intensity and passion to the game that is unmatched. As a guard, Brady was looked at as a leader by his teammates. There were multiple examples of Brady taking it upon himself to make sure that his teammates were doing everything they could to not only make themselves better, but also the team better. His team first attitude will carry him a long way as he improves as a basketball player. Congratulations Brady!
