The Ohio Crossover Athletics Most Improved Player Award is given to a player who has made significant strides in his game from the beginning of the AAU season to the end. These improvements are not only based on statistics, but also include the player's mental approach, intensity, and will to win that he brings to each and every game. I am proud to announce that the winner of the 2018 6th Grade Boys (Johnson) Most Improved Player Award is Will Rehmel from Wilson Elementary School!

Will was only in 5th grade and was the youngest player on our team this season, but he did not let that stop him! He was always at practice pushing himself and his teammates to improve. He even drew out all of our plays on his own and memorized them! By the end of the season I could tell that Will's confidence had improved dramatically and he was not afraid to take the open shot and he was very aggressive defensively as well. I'm excited to see Will continue to grow as a basketball player! Congratulations Will!
