Lutherville Native Finalist For One Love Foundation Award

A Lutherville native was among the finalists announced by the One Love Foundation Wednesday for an award that celebrates selfless acts and committment on the part of Division I lacrosse players.

Frankie Kelly, a junior midfielder at the University of North Carolina, is among 10 college lacrosse players up for the Yeardley Reynolds Love Unsung Hero Award, which will be presented later this month.

"The award recognizes accomplishments of student-athletes who help their team achieve success in ways that may not be measured in goals, saves or ground balls," accordin to a press release from the foundation. "The honor is meaningful because it places value on characteristics that are often undervalued in the competitively charged environment of college athletics."

Kelly, who the foundation called a "respected leader in the locker room" at UNC, volunteers his time reading books at elementary schools, building houses with Habitat for Humanity and visiting patients at hospitals in the Chapel Hill, NC area, according to a press release.

The One Love Foundation was co-founded by Sharon and Lexi Love in honor of slain Cockeysville native Yeardley Reynolds Love, a University of Virginia student athlete killed by her ex-boyfriend George Huguely.

• Temple University's Jackie Mercer, of Sewell, NJ
