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 9th Grade Boys (Brandy) Most Valuable Player Award is Bryce Kellerman from McNicholas High School!

Bryce was one of our team leaders in scoring, steals, rebounds and assists this season. He is a versatile player that has the ability to play all five positions. However, his leadership qualities both on and off the court are what makes him so special and they were instrumental in building our team identity. He has a high basketball IQ that allows him to be a coach on the floor and to help put his teammates in the best position for them and our team to be successful. Bryce is a hard working player, a great listener and is a pleasure to coach. Congratulations Bryce!
