Depending upon the season, Kevin Beedy's roles at Spearman High can be as different as daylight and dark. From fall through winter, Beedy is the general on the football field or basketball court, pushing his team ahead through the season. By the time spring rolls around, Beedy is on his own, confined to the island of the tennis court without the help of his teammates. The trials may be different, but Beedy has shown himself capable of handling the differing challenges. I like the team aspect of them.
Tennis is more individual.
But I really like all three. Tennis, though, is where Beedy has made his most significant impact thus far. Only a sophomore, Beedy marks his second state tournament appearance when the annual event begins today at sites in Austin and Lakeway. Classes 5A and 4A are scheduled to be played at the Penick-Allison Courts on the University of Texas campus, with 3A, 2A and 1A set for World of Tennis. Beedy already has experienced playing in a championship match, falling in the 2A boys' singles final last year as a freshman.
