KEYSER - Keyser High School has announced the three nominees for the 2021 Jonah Edward Kelley Award - Draetius Marcell Allen, Darrick Harmon Broadwater and Bradley Ryan Sommers.
The Kelley Award is named in memory of Keyser High School graduate Jonah Edward Kelley, who lost his life while defending his men during an ambush near Kesternich, Germany, during World War II. Kelley was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions.
Nominees for the award are three young men who have excelled academically and athletically, and have demonstrated integrity, dignity, and honor throughout their high school careers. Nominees must also have played either football or basketball - the two sports which Kelley played while a student at Keyser.
