Reyna is off to a fast start in the first 3 games scoring 12 points per game. She has really been hot from the outside hitting 10 shots from behind the 3 point line. As a Junior Reyna hit 46% from the 3 point line and 82% from the free throw line so she can shoot the basketball.
Reyna spent her off season working on her game. She played with her school team and also the Evolution Elite AAU team. Reyna was focused on her footwork and becoming quicker. The high school team really bonded and came together in their preparation for the upcoming season. Her Evolution Elite team had a good year winning 3 tournaments. During the tournament the team won in Indiana Reyna was named the All Star of the championship game. Reyna mentioned that she really enjoyed the school teams trips to the Breese Central tourney in July. She said they really enjoyed the trips to Breese. Team chemistry and bonding is important and this tourney really helped the team come together.
Reyna feels that her basketball IQ might be her best strength as a player. She is smart with the basketball and limit turnovers because she does not make bad decisions. She also notes that she is a pretty good shooter. That thought is also something her coach, Nick Knolhoff mentions about her. He feels that she has the ability to really help the team by scoring. Obviously by her start to the season, they are correct. Reyna really enjoys watching Skyler Diggins and Elena Delle Donne play and tries to learn from the finesse they use to make plays. The team at O’Fallon has high goals this year and Reyna seems to agree. Reyna feels like the team should be striving to win the Regional. The goal then is to focus on trying to move forward into sectionals and do their best to advance each game.
Reyna has hopes to play in college and has been contacted already by come schools. Central College in Pella, IA Greenville College and Albion College have all contacted her. She plans to get a degree in Nursing so the college that provides the best fit for her academics and athletics will likely be the choice.
Reyna will be a key to the O’Fallon season as she will help provide that scoring punch they need. She has proven early that she can be the shooter they need. She works hard and has put in the time and effort to be quicker and have better footwork. Good Luck to Reyna on a strong senior season.
