MIDLAND CITY – Dale County’s Chyann Beasley, once a college volleyball commit, instead is lacing back up her basketball sneakers after signing a scholarship Tuesday with Faulkner University.
The signing ceremony at the school was the culmination of a whirlwind month for the senior, who tried out at Faulkner in mid-April and got the call a few days later she was being offered a scholarship at the school in Montgomery that competes on the NAIA level.
“When I was 6 years old we moved to Huntsville with my grandparents and I had never played basketball before,” Beasley said. “I was like, ‘Mom, I want to try.’ I played recreational basketball and I fell in love with it.” As a senior, Beasley still set her sights on playing volleyball on the college level and tried out at Enterprise State, which has added the sport back to its athletics programs after last fielding a squad in 2000.
“We put them through some drills and then we just split them up and let them play,” Roark said. “When the tryout ended, we filmed it and watched it, then we started calling our players to see what did you think about this girl, what did you think about that girl? “I thought it was an opportunity, but honestly I didn’t think I was going to make the team,” Beasley said. “I wasn’t going out there to showboat or anything, I was just going out there to show them my talent and if I was good enough, then that’s what it is.”“She has been just an outstanding young woman to work with,” Donaldson said. “I’ve had her on the court for three seasons and also in the classroom. In all aspects, she always rises to the occasion.
