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 2019 6th Grade Boys (Bryant) Most Improved Player Award is Josiah Bickett from Williamsburg Elementary School!

Josiah is a quiet player who was struggling to find his role on the team at the beginning of the season. However, he continued to work hard in practice and I began to see improvement. Josiah became a reliable contributor on the offensive end and a much more aggressive player and rebounder on the defensive end of the floor. Towards the end of the season he was like a man among boys; grabbing rebounds and getting second chance points. As Josiah continues to grow and develop his game, the sky is the limit! Congratulations Josiah!
