BOLIVAR — Republic head coach Kris Flood can't help but smile when he thinks back to the first time he watched Kaemyn Bekemeier play as a freshman on the junior varsity team.
Already knowing that she could be something special, Flood watched Bekemeier dominate for two quarters and show that she had no business being among them. She was a varsity player and he already knew she was going to be a star.
Flood told the junior varsity coach that her time with them was done and that she would be a starter on the varsity team shortly after.
