A Dunbar star in the 1960s, where he took the school to a Maryland Scholastic Association title, Kelly attended Bay College, where he led the nation in junior college scoring (40 points per game) and assists (13). A 6-foot-1 guard, he moved on to Wheeling Jesuit College, where, in two years, he scored more than 1,300 points and became a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics All-American.
