Valpo's Resilient Forward with High School Dominance and Steady College Grit
Katie Beyer, a 6'2" forward for the Valparaiso Beacons, brings **high school stardom** (17.4 PPG, 10.8 RPG, 51.6% FG leading McHenry HS to 24 wins in 2019-20) to a bench role, averaging 3.7 PPG and 1.9 RPG career while flashing efficiency like 8 points on 3-5 FG vs. UNI in 2023-24[1][3]. Her differentiator? **Tough, rebound-crashing intensity** from AAU with Illinois Elite and early HS graduation drive, making her a high-upside glue player with no injury red flags. Care because she's a **hardworking developmental gem**—perfect fit for teams needing versatile forwards who battle without the ball and grow into starters.
