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 2016 8th Grade Boys (Hatton) Most Valuable Player Award is Brenton Foust from Loveland Middle School!
Brenton was a true spark plug for us on both ends of the court. On the defensive end he defined the term stopper and was tasked with guarding the other team’s best perimeter player. He was also an absolute force on the offensive end. Brenton made a number of clutch shots for our team and every time he shot that floater in the lane I truly believed it was going in. Congratulations Brenton!
