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 (Moore) Most Improved Player Award is Dominic Cantrella from Turpin High School!

Dominic’s improvement came in his aggressiveness on the offensive end of the floor. As the season progressed, he stopped passing up good open shots and began looking for his own shot. He scored in double figures several times in the second half of the season. Dominic is a very good shooter from both the mid-range and the three-point line. He also understands angles and how to change speeds to get the basket to open up opportunities for himself and his teammates. I’m excited to see Dominic continue to grow as a basketball player. Congratulations Dominic!
