One of the area's best two-sport athletes is Roger Bacon senior Kelly
Brenner, an all-star in volleyball and basketball.
A volleyball middle hitter, Kelly helped lead last season's Spartans
to an impressive 26-1 record, winning league and SWO District
championships in Div. II while finishing as regional runners-up. She
recorded a league-leading 319 kills last season, with 75 blocks
(second in the league) and 49 digs. She was named 1st team all-GCL
Co-Ed Central, 1st team all-city and 1st team all-SWO District. She
also was a finalist for Cincinnati.com Sports Awards Volleyball Player
of the Year.
In basketball, Kelly, a shooting guard, will likely go over 1,000
career points this upcoming season. She helped lead last year's team
to the GCL Co-Ed championship, going 8-2 in league play and 20-5 over
all. She averaged 11.4 points a game with three rebounds and 1.2
assists per game. Big games included vs. Chaminade Julienne (24
points), Purcell Marian (19), McNicholas (18) and Taft (18). Her club
team is the Cincy Swish.
Her honors include being named 1st team all-GCL Co-Ed Central for the
third straight year and 1st team SWO District. She already holds the
school record for most three-point shots made (135), and her 879
career points rank third in school history.
A great student who is active in community service, Kelly likely will
play basketball at the next level but has not yet selected a college.
"Kelly is the complete student-athlete," says Basketball Coach Joe
Finnegan. "She works incredibly hard and has great success on the
court and in the classroom which is proven by her GPA and all her
athletic accomplishments."
Her favorite athlete is Steph Curry, favorite entertainer is Ellen
DeGeneres, favorite book is the Harry Potter series, favorite move is
The Notebook and most-like-to-meet is Ryan Reynolds.
COACH'S QUOTE – "Kelly is all business. When she is on the
volleyball court, in the classroom or running the floor you can be
sure she will get the job done."
— Alyssa Flading, Volleyball Coach
