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 9th Grade Boys (Johnson) Most Improved Player Award is William Cornett from Fayetteville High School!

William is an extremely hard worker and made great strides in improving his overall game. As the season progressed, he began to take good uncontested shots and learned to move without the ball. He also improved his defensive ability by staying low when playing man-to-man and anticipating ball movement when we played zone. William was a big part of our team’s success. But most importantly, he has a great attitude and is very coachable. I am excited to see William play in high school this season! Congratulations William!
