Iowa State women’s basketball commit Reese Beaty to miss TSSAA senior season with injury

York Institute girls basketball star and Iowa State commitment Reese Beaty will miss the 2024-25 TSSAA basketball season due to injury, according to a Facebook post by her mom, Bethany Beaty, on Monday.

Reese, who will be a senior this year, tore her labrum, the post said. She had been playing with shoulder pain since February and her family decided to get surgery after receiving consultation from Iowa State’s medical team. The recovery time span is six months.

Beaty was a TSSAA Class 2A Miss Basketball finalist and led York to the TSSAA basketball state quarterfinals last season. She was also a finalist for The Tennessean’s Midstate Girls Basketball Player of the Year.

Beaty verbally committed to Iowa State in July. She reopened her recruitment in March after previously being committed to Clemson after Tigers coach Amanda Butler was fired. Numerous new scholarship offers followed, including Cal, Auburn, Colorado, West Virginia, TCU, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi State, Wisconsin, Michigan and Penn State.

She averaged 17.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.2 steals for York last season, leading the Dragonettes to their third consecutive TSSAA state tournament. Her two free throws with 20 seconds left secured York’s 66-63 overtime win over McMinn Central in a Class 2A girls quarterfinal. She finished with a game-high 33 points and six assists.
