Beth Bue

Austin, MN (Austin H.S.)

 Ruley Quotes: ‘‘Beth has the potential to be a great leader for us this year for a number of reasons. She has seen the game from all angles. Beth went from a successful high school athlete to an twice injured athlete who went through rehab. She went from a person off the bench to a player who worked her way into the starting lineup. Everything Beth has accomplished she can take credit for. I think it's a credit to her and the committment she made. I think it's a great example to athletes of a person who took responsibility and made the changes to have things go to her advantage.”
