"I think he's grown a lot over the last couple years," Williamsport coach Chris Downs said. "His technical ability is by far some of the best around. I've not seen anybody with that kind of skill. Initially, we had him at outside midfield because we had a few injuries, but once we got him up front, things started clicking and I think he became a better player."
Reyes finished the year with 15 goals and eight assists and also earned MVAL Antietam first-team honors.
"When I was in the midfield and I saw the forwards getting their chances, I was hungry to get my opportunity to get up there," Reyes said. "When I got up there, I went for it."
"He understood the difference between taking it himself and creating opportunities for others," Downs said. "He could do both, and you don't see that a lot. ... He did it all year for us. He was the one we could count on all the time."
