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 10th Grade Boys (Henke) Most Valuable Player Award is Grant Fishback from Clermont Northeastern High School.

Grant gave us excellent size and skill at both ends of the court. He was a consistent offensive threat both inside and from the perimeter and was our team’s 2nd leading scorer. He was also key to our success on the defensive end as he led our team in both rebounding and blocked shots. Grant will continue to get better through his hard work and determination. Congratulations Grant!
