The Florida-bound Beal led Chaminade to the state quarterfinals by averaging 32.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.7 steals a game. He won the award, which also recognizes accomplishment in the classroom and in the community, last season as well. A nationwide player of the year will be chosen later this month.
