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 10th Grade Boys (Brandy) Most Valuable Player Award is Jalen Greiser from Loveland High School!

 

Jalen's offensive skill set make it nearly impossible to take him off the floor. He is an excellent shooter and he can create his own shot off the dribble or set his teammates up for easy baskets. He led our team in rebounding and assists and was our second leading scorer. He is also a very good defender whose combination of height, length, and athleticism allow him to guard any position on the floor. Most importantly though, Jalen is a good teammate and is very coachable. I wish Jalen the best of luck with his school team this year and I look forward to watching his continued growth. Congratulations Jalen!
