2014 END ZONE OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Ja’Marcus Bradley, QB, Choctaw County

** Was the senior quarterback of the Chargers good this year? Yes, and that’s putting it mildly. ‘Mark’ as everyone at Choctaw County calls him, was darn near unstoppable during the 2014 season.

(Star Herald)
Senior quarterback Jamarcus Bradley of Choctaw County is our 2014 End Zone Offensive Player of the Year.

The leader of the Chargers threw for 1,437 yards and 9 touchdowns this season. That’s only scratching the surface on the season he had under center. 2,606 rushing yards. Yes, you read that correctly. 2,606. Mark did not have a game where he rushed for under 200 yards this season. That includes his 31 carries, 518 yards and 10 touchdown performance versus Union on September 12th. Those may seem like video game numbers, but it’s all real life.

Bradley accounted for 56 touchdowns this season from Choctaw County. As a team, the Chargers had 67 touchdowns on offense. That means over 83% of the touchdowns scored by the Choctaw County offense came from the guy wearing No. 3. With all of that put together, we are awarding Choctaw County senior quarterback Ja’Marcus Bradley the 2014 End Zone Offensive Player of the Year award!
