Alumni Kelvin Drakeford ’08 has had an exciting year!

After graduating from Cannon and Catawba College, Kelvin has worked at Cannon School. His first coaching opportunity came in the 2012-2013 season as the JV Boys Basketball Head Coach & Varsity Assistant. In 2017 Kelvin took over the girls basketball program as Director and Varsity Head Coach. He helped turn the girls basketball program into one of the state’s strongest teams, taking them to the state championships these past two years!

During the day Kelvin is a Lower School PE teacher. He has a passion for working with kids and enjoys seeing them make progress everyday. Outside of his work at Cannon, Kelvin coaches for Team Curry on the Girls Under Armour Circuit.

When Kelvin is not spending time in the gym, you can find him spending time with his family - wife Leia and sons KJ ’31, Liam, and Levi.
