About Kelly: "I dedicate my games to God", said Kelly a senior
who recently wrapped up her final season playing basketball
for the West Catholic Burrs.  Praying in thanks before and after

games, regardless of the final score, was a staple of her game day
routine.  "I play shooting guard, and my main focus is getting
around obstacles to my goal.  Like basketball, faith has obstacles, and to get over them takes work.  The outcome, whether good or bad, always (produces) a lesson learned," she said.
