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 2015 OCA 11th Grade Most Improved Player Award is Collin Fryman from Glen Este High School.

If you watched our team play at the beginning of the season and saw us again at the end of the year, you would have no doubt in your mind who the most improved player on our team was. Collin is a very hardworker who improved each and every game. Collin led our team in 3-point field goal percentage this year at 48.8%. He also had 31 assists and just 6 turnovers for the entire season! I always tell players that "it doesn't matter to me who starts, it's who finishes the game that's important." Collin became a player that I not only wanted in the game at the end because he's a good shooter, but because I knew that he would play great defense and make smart decisions.

I enjoyed coaching Collin this year and I expect him to have a fantastic Senior season at Anderson High School and to have the opportunity to continue his career on the next level. Congratulations Collin!
