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 2017 7th Grade Boys (Rudolph) Most Valuable Player Award is Eli Kirk from Milford Junior High School!

Eli was either at or near the top of several statiscal catergories for our team this season. He can score from anywhere on the floor and is also able to play lock down defense on the opposing team's best player. Eli is extremely smart and understands what he is supposed to do in nearly every situation. He is the type of player that is willing to do anything a coach asks of him to help his team succeed. Whether it's diving for a loose ball, taking a charge, grabbing a key rebound or knocking down a big shot, Eli always seemed to rise to the occassion when our team needed it the most. Eli is one of the hardest working and most coachable players that I have ever had and always represented our program in a first class manner. Congratulations Eli!
