The Ohio Crossover Athletics Most Valuable Player Award is given to a player who exemplifies excellence on both ends of the floor and is indispensable to the team's overall success. This player has talent, intelligence, work ethic, and leads by example on and off the court. I am proud to announce that the winner of the 2019 6th Grade Boys (Bryant) Most Valuable Player Award is Dan DeBow from Indian Hill Middle School!

 

Dan is a very skilled player on both ends of the floor. He was at or near the top of almost every statistical category for our team this season. He anchored our defense as the “chaser” at the top of our 1-3-1 pressure defense. As our point guard, he was the quarterback of our offense attack through his scoring and by setting his teammates up for easy baskets. Dan never shied away from taking big shots in pressure moments. He scored 16 points against RGB and 14 against the Cincy Fire to lead our team to victory. As Dan continues to grow and develop his game, the sky is the limit! Congratulations Dan!
