Crestview senior Connor Lautzenheiser was chosen as the 2015-16 NWC Player of the Year by Northwest Conference boys’ basketball coaches at the annual selection meeting Monday evening in Delphos. Lautzenheiser received 118 total points to finish ahead of Chandler Adams (LV) and Trey Smith (DJ) in the coaches’ voting.
