Kelby is an outstanding student athlete, playing Baseball for the Mavericks all four years of High School. He was a member of the 2nd Team All-District his junior year and will likely receive additional honors his senior year. His leadership on the baseball team, guiding the younger athletes on the team, is noted as being helpful in building the program up.

"Kelby is a one of a kind student athlete," Coach Morphew stated. "He bought into everything we have been trying to create culture-wise, both in the classroom and on the field. Kelby represents our culture by having high character, being committed to being his best, and being consistent with his actions on a daily basis. I'm very thankful to have met and coached Kelby. I appreciate him always being respectful to everyone around him, being a good teammate, and representing Eastland in the best way possible. Kelby, I am very proud of you for working hard to receive Student of the Month. You have a very bright future ahead!"
Congratulations to both of these outstanding students!
