gwave0333 69 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Our Region IV Player of the Decade is Graham's Ahmad Bradshaw. He rushed for 2,282 yards and 27 touchdowns as a junior and 2,557 rushing yards and 31 touchdowns as a senior, totaling 5,265 yards and 92 touchdowns while averaging nearly ten yards a carry for his high school career, while playing for the late Glynn Carlock. Virginia High School sports historian Marshall Johnson told VirginiaPreps.com "Bradshaw was first and only player to my knowledge who had more than 5,000 rushing yards and 1,500 receiving yards as a high school player. Bradshaw graduated in 2004 and went on to have an impressive college career at Marshall, and was then drafted by the NFL's New York Giants. For his accomplishments on the football field at Graham, Bradshaw was named the Bluefield Daily Telegraph's football player of the year, in 2002 and 2003.? He was named the 2002 State Double A Player of the Year and was also a first team all state choice in both 2002 and 2003.? Named second team all-state at defensive back and as a kick returner. Bradshaw was the first player in Graham? history to have back-to-back 2000-yard seasons. He averaged more than 10 yards per carry as a senior.? That same season he gained 327 yards on the ground and scored four touchdowns in the Southwest District championship, and in three playoff games that season he ran for 547 yards and eight touchdowns and caught three touchdown passes. Bradshaw rarely if ever came off the football field during his senior and junior seasons at Graham and has the stats to prove it.? For his high school career he averaged 22.5 yards on 44 kickoff returns and returned two for touchdowns and returned 45 punts for a 22.6-yard average and four scores.? As a junior he made 139 tackles while playing the safety position for the "G-Men" and for his career he intercepted 10 passes and returned two for touchdowns. Also a standout basketball player at Graham, Bradshaw scored more than 1,000 points in his career and was a first-team All-State basketball player as a junior. After graduating from Graham, Bradshaw played three seasons at Marshall, and put the thunder back in the Thundering Herd offense. The nation's sixth-leading rusher in 2006, he closed out his career as the school's fifth all-time rusher with 2,987 yards.? After college Bradshaw was drafted by the New York Giants and helped the team to a Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots in 2008.
