Coupeville Sports

Brandon Kelley, doin’ work.

If he has time, Brandon Kelley has a birthday to celebrate today.

I hedge my bet, because the 19-year old former Wolf has always been a busy, busy man.

During his days at Coupeville High School he was a successful track and tennis star, played in the band and competed in Science Olympiad.

In track, especially, he was a major threat, whether running in the hurdles or on winning relay squads, where he often was teamed up with younger brother Lathom to give the Wolves a double-whammy of Kelley speed.

And that was just the tip of the iceberg for a guy who always got a lot accomplished.

He also traveled to Mexico with his church group and, very deservedly, received one of the first two college scholarships financed by sales of CHS sports photos last year.

Honored along with Breeanna Messner, the duo were flawless fits when you looked at the criteria for the award — which honored student/athletes who did well in the classroom and on the field and stayed at both for their entire high school run.

Brandon (and his lil’ bro) are both class acts, hard-working guys who represent their parents (Lincoln and Shawna Kelley), their school and their town extremely well.

He may be off in college now, but BK will always be a Wolf and Wolf Nation will always be proud of him.

So, if you have the time, Brandon, take a moment for yourself today. You’ve earned it.
