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 2015 9th Grade Boys Most Valuable Player Award is Jay Tiemeyer from Anderson High School.

 

Jay played point guard for us primarily, which is a position of great responsibility. He was our second leading scorer and led the team in assists. He was also a calming influence on our team when things got rough. He always seemed to come up with a big basket, assist, or defensive play to help get our team back on track. Jay provided leadership and was instrumental in our team's success this season. Congratulations Jay!
