As one of the baseball team Captains, he has helped lead the team to the playoff's for the third straight year. Kevin is an all-around contributor, and is a three sport athlete who was also a team captain for the also successful Belmont Hockey team, where he has earned all Middlesex league honors.

The Brendan Grant Scholarship has been established in memory of Brendan Grant, the accomplished 19-year old Belmont baseball player who was fatally injured in an outfield collision during a Senior Babe Ruth game in June 200l. The two annual scholarships provides assistance to a senior member of both the Belmont High School varsity baseball team and the Belmont High School varsity softball team who will be attending an institution of higher learning after graduation. The scholarship is intended to reward a player who possesses the same positive spirit and leadership skills for which Brendan was known.
