The Beau Levesque story

Beau Levesque did it the hard way, coming to St. Mary's on an academic scholarship and earning a basketball one.

Now checking in at 6-foot-6 and 220 as a junior, he is the third leading scorer for the Gaels this season at 10.5 points alongside 4.7 rebounds a game. He's shooting 51%, 40% and 84% respectively in just under 21 minutes a contest.

A fourth-year junior athletically (he sat out the 2010-11 season due to surgeries ion his right and left hips), Levesque contributed 15 points, four rebounds and a pair of assists in St. Mary's recent victory over USF.

Just prior to that, it was 14 points, five boards and two assists during 17 minutes of court time in the Gael loss to Gonzaga up in Spokane.

Against Loyola Marymount in the preceding contest, Levesque totaled 11 points, four caroms and an assist in 15 minutes of action in that victory.

Combine patience and continual effort with opportunity and Coach Randy Bennett is mighty glad he said yes.
