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 11th Grade Boys (Callahan) Best Offensive Player Award is Josh Hice from Goshen High School!
Josh was an impact player for our team this season. He is a deadly shooter from the three-point line and became a much more effective player off the dribble by either making a play for himself or his teammates. This allowed Josh to get to the free throw line where he excelled as one of our best free throw shooters. Josh was always willing to take the big shot in critical situations and was a big part of our team’s success.
Josh was the only player on our team that played in all 31 of our games and he scored in double figures 17 times. He was third on the team in scoring at 10.5 ppg. and he led the team in three-pointers made (42), and free throw percentage (70.3%).
I’m glad that I had the opportunity to coach Josh again this year. He is proof that if you work hard, good things are going to come your way. I’m excited to see Josh continue to improve as a basketball player and I expect him to have a fantastic senior season at Goshen High School! Congratulations Josh!
