The Ohio Crossover Athletics Best Offensive Player Award is given to a player who exemplifies excellence on the offensive end of the court. This player not only has the ability and confidence to take and make big shots for his team, but is willing to share the basketball and put his teammates in position to score. I am proud to announce that the winner of the 2018 6th Grade Boys (Johnson) Best Offensive Player Award is Tristan Guckenberger from Goshen Middle School!

 

Tristan was able to learn the plays quickly, always had a good grasp for what was going on around him, and he was a beast for our team under the basket this year. His ability to pull down rebounds gave us a number of second chance scoring opportunities. He was also a willing passer that was always willing to make the extra pass. Tristan is a hard worker that always gave his best effort and ran the floor hard. He is extremely coachable and a team player. I'm excited to see Tristan continue to improve as a basketball player! Congratulations Tristan!
