“It felt like that was a very important milestone in my life,” Beatty said of beating Vinita. “I felt like that was the championship game.”
Beatty averaged 18.6 points and 5 rebounds per game as a junior and has established herself as one of the top state college prospects for the class of 2013. She already has offers from Oral Roberts and Tulsa, and Arkansas, Fresno State and Oklahoma State are showing strong interest.
Beatty will visit Stillwater on Monday, but she said she'd really like to play out of state.
