Athlete of the Week: Luke Kelly

Luke Kelly, North Duplin football

This fall will the fourth straight season Luke Kelly has been the starting quarterback at North Duplin. While he plays in a run-orientated offense, the senior has gone 43 of 103 for 12 touchdowns in his previous three seasons.

He’s grown physically and as a leader for head coach High Martin, who will likely call Kelly’s number to run the ball more this fall.

More importantly, he’s the leader of the offense.

Kelly’s other sport is basketball. He started for the Rebels’ 17-10 team that won the Carolina A Conference’s regular season and postseason tournament.

He averaged 3.7 points and 2.6 rebounds.

Look for Kelly to blossom on both the basketball court and gridiron his final season in a Rebel uniform.
