Beauman Davis lets his actions speak for him.

A hustler and a scrapper on the basketball court, the Coupeville High School junior is a man of few words in interviews.

But that’s fine, since the small forward is content to play the game and let others spend their time making small talk.

He values “my teammates” and first started playing hoops for the challenge.

“This is my second year of basketball,” Davis said. “I started last year because it sounded like it would be a great experience.”

He draws inspiration from “my parents, my coaches and my classmates” and is hard at work on all the facets of his game.

“I think my strengths are playing inside the key,” Davis said. “And I am working on my perimeter shooting.”

Away from basketball, he has played tennis and soccer for CHS and is in the school band.

A fan of the horror film “Insidious,” Davis is splitting his time and focus between the classroom, the athletic world and playing music.

“My other primary objectives are school, and music, and I like hip hop and jazz music,” he said.
