Congratulations to Schalmont High School senior Kyle McKelvey on being selected as this week’s Capital News 9 “Jacques of All Trades.” Sports anchor Marisa Jacques’ program about McKelvey aired during a recent High School Football Kickoff Show.

McKelvey truly is a jack of all trades. He is an honors student, plays three sports, holds down a part-time job, and is enrolled in the New Visions Health and Careers program at St. Peter's Health Care Services in Albany. This fall, he is captain of the Varsity Football team and quarterback for the second year in a row. During the 2007-08 school year, he threw for 600 yards, had seven touchdowns, and made two interceptions on defense. He also played on the HS Varsity Baseball and Hockey teams. In baseball, one of the many records he set was for the highest batting average in a season. He also was named Colonial Council All-Star Co-League MVP. In hockey, he broke the New York State record for most hockey goals scored in a single game.

McKelvey plans to pursue a pre-med program in college.
