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 10th Grade Boys (Moore) Most Improved Player Award is Jonathan Stokes from Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy!

Jonathan was new to our team this season. It is not always easy to join a group where the majority of the players have been together for 3-4 years, but Jonathan meshed well with our team. He can shoot it from anywhere on the court and can get hot quickly. Once he makes one, he usually will follow it with two or three more. However, Jonathan needed to become a more physical rebounder and be more patient on offense as he learned to play within our system. He made great strides in those areas over the course of the season because he is coachable, respectful, and a very hard worker. I’m excited to see Jonathan continue to improve as a basketball player! Congratulations Jonathan!
