PV native earns honor from Rockhurst University athletics

Prairie Village native Cooper Beckett, a Rockhurst High School grad and current Rockhurst University junior, was named the Rockhurst Atheltics Department’s “Hawk of the Week” in February after a solid week on the basketball court.

The 6’8″ 190-pound center scored 11 points and six rebounds in a game against Drury College Feb. 3, a standout performance that earned him the athletic department’s weekly honor.

Beckett redshirted his freshman year and has two years of playing eligibility left.
