Nature Coast LB Justin Beetz commits to Chowan University

Nature Coast LB Justin Beetz has orally committed to play at Chowan (N.C.) University next fall.

Beetz had 108 tackles for the Sharks in 2009. Former head coach Mark Lee said it's a "small world" considering his father and two Sharks assistants all graduated from Chowan.

Lee, the new Weeki Wachee athletic director, coached Beetz last season.
