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 10th Grade Boys Most Valuable Player Award is Brady Funke from Loveland High School.

Brady was our most consistent all-around player this season. He led our team in scoring and assists and was always willing to sacrifice his body to take a charge. He is a passionate, tough-minded player that will do anything necessary to help his team win the game. As our opponents got tougher and tougher, Brady was able to elevate his game to new heights. Against the Spiece Indy Heat (who were ranked in the top 10 in the country) Brady scored 26 points and dished out a number of assists. During the AAU National Championship Tournament in July, Brady scored 22 points and had several key steals to give our team a chance to win against World Class Basketball (IL).

I enjoyed coaching Brady this season and I look forward to coaching him again next year. I expect him to have a fantastic Junior season at Loveland High School and to continue to improve

in all facets of the game. Congratulations Brady!
