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 also willing to share the basketball and put his teammates in position to score. I am proud to announce that the winner of the 2019 8th Grade Boys (Red) Best Offensive Player Award is Brady Chisman from Lynchburg-Clay Middle School!
Brady is a very good perimeter shooter and is also a willing passer. Brady was second on the team in scoring and assists. However, he is at his best when he is attacking the basket. He is able to use his quickness and athleticism to finish in traffic with either hand. We could always rely on Brady to make a play for us when we were struggling on offense. He scored a season high 26 points against Ohio Stars Elite in the semi-finals of the Spring Jam Tournament that we eventually won. I’m excited to see Brady continue to improve as a basketball player! Congratulations Brady!
