The 2014 regular season is over and it's time for us to hand out our Player of the Year Awards.

Player of the Year (Sam's Pick): East Kentwood RB Michael Ivy

The Numbers: 153 carries 1,501 yards 23 touchdowns, 12 receptions 114 yards 3 TD

Breakdown: East Kentwood returned to the top of the OK Red for the first time since 2003 and Michael Ivy was a huge reason behind that. The dominant running back led an extremely talented Falcons' team to an 8-1 regular season record and a share of the 2014 conference title. Ivy shined bright on big stages including a 248-yard 3 touchdown performance vs Rockford and against Grandville, Ivy ran for 208 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Ivy gets downhill and uses great vision to extend runs. He does an incredible job on extending the play by running through tackles to pick up extra yardage. If the Falcons make a playoff run, a 2,000 yard season is easily within reach for my 2014 Player of the Year.

Player of the Year (Casey's Pick): West Catholic QB Travis Russell

The Numbers: 92/150 for 1,364 yards 18 touchdowns, 139 carries for 803 yards 14 TD

Breakdown: Russell was at the helm of a dominant spread offense that averaged over 40 points per game leading West Catholic to an undefeated regular season. Russell racked up 32 total touchdowns and had three 5 touchdown games on the season. The dual threat QB is one of the most dangerous players in the area and proved he is one of the elite quarterbacks in West Michigan.

After an injury to Lasavian Majewski, Russell was counted on to help keep the run game going and he delivered surpassing his 2013 totals of 687 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns in just 9 games so far this season compared to 14 last year. He has improved his touchdown to interception ratio as well 18-5 in 2014 compared to 22-13 last season. Each week, the Falcons look more dangerous and my 2014 Player of the Year is leading the charge.
