Beyonce Bea: a rising star Women’s Basketball

Making the transition from high school to the college level can sometimes feel daunting to players. An increase in speed, size and basketball IQ is needed to be successful.

It sometimes takes years to make an impact on a team, but freshman forward Beyonce Bea is on her way to be a key piece for Idaho women’s basketball.

“It’s been going really well,” Bea said. “It has been really fun so far. I’ve loved it.”

The 6-foot, 1-inch Bea was recruited from Washougal, Washington, playing at Washougal High School.

As a member of the Panthers, Bea received offers from several Big Sky schools, including Montana, Northern Arizona and Eastern Washington, even getting consideration from Fresno State in the Mountain West Conference.
