While at Richland, he was a four-year letterwinner for head coach Earl Streufert and earned first team All-State honors as both a junior and senior. Both seasons he was the Tri-City Herald All-Area Player of the Year and the Mid-Columbia Conference Player of the Year.
He averaged 26.7 points as a senior. Beo led the state in scoring at 27.7 points per game in his junior season.
