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 9th Grade Boys (Bruns) Most Valuable Player Award is Kyle Olson from Kings High School!
Kyle possesses the height, length, basketball IQ, and skill set that every coach is looking for in a player. He can shoot off the dribble, finish at the rim, is a very good three-point shooter, and can handle the ball under pressure. He is also a versatile defender that can guard multiple positions and was one of our best rebounders. However, he is still just scratching the surface of how good he can be. I’m excited to see Kyle continue to improve as a basketball player! Congratulations Kyle!
