KEIZERTIMES.COM Reynolds back on the mat Robert Miller Devin Reynolds, a 2013 graduate of McNary High School, placed third at NAIA Nationals for Grand View University, after not be- ing able to wrestle for nearly two years. By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes Wrestling at the 2017 U.S. Open Championships, Devin Reynolds looked to the mat next to his and saw David Taylor, a two-time NCAA champion from Penn State and member of the United States World Freestyle Team. Reynolds, himself a two-time state champion while at Mc- Nary, had come a long way since a series of concussions ended his career at Oregon State. After the national tournament, Reynolds would go even fur- ther. Reynolds decided to sign with the Beavers in 2013 after fi n- ishing his fi nal high school season 45-0. As a redshirt freshman, Reynolds went 23-9 and placed third in the Pac-12 in 2015 in his fi rst season at Oregon State. “It’s a kid’s dream come true to wrestle at a D-I level,” Reyn- olds said. “The competition was intense and it was everything a young wrestler could want.” But Reynolds suffered a concussion early in his sophomore season and couldn’t heal fast enough to get back into the lineup. But he kept trying even through persistent concussion symptoms. “I knew the longer I was out, the more I was going to miss,” Reynolds said. “(Oregon State head coach) Jim (Zalesky) was heavy on if you want to wrestle in the lineup, you’ve got to show it in competition. It doesn’t matter who you beat in the practice room. It was all about how we performed and I wanted to get out there and wrestle.” Right before the holidays at a tournament in Spokane, Reyn- olds dreams of making a comeback were shattered when he took a knee to the face, breaking his nose and giving him another concussion. He agreed to take a medical hardship, which meant Reynolds could keep his scholarship and fi nish school. But he would never wrestle for Oregon State again. “It was a pretty low point in my life, losing what I thought was my last chance to wrestle in my life,” Reynolds said. Wanting to stay in the sport, Reynolds reached out to his for- mer high school coach, Jason Ebbs, about being an assistant at McNary and spent the 2016-17 season with the Celtics.

Everett took an early lead, Salem- Keizer tied the score at 2 in the bot- tom of the second inning, and then the visitors came back with three runs in the third and ended up winning 12-6. Connor Hoover led off the Aqua- Sox fi rst inning with a double to left center fi eld and reached third base as the next batter, Bobby Honey- man, grounded out. Cal Raleigh then grounded out but scored Hoover in the process. In the top of the second, Charlie McConnell hit a one-out infi eld single as fi rst baseman Wander Franco lost the ball in the sun. Jansiel Rivera singled to left. McConnell scored and Rivera went to second on a throwing error by left fi elder Diego Rincones. The Volcanoes’ fi rst run came after David Villar walked with one out in the second. Franco doubled him home and scored on a single to right by Aar- on Bond. Honeyman led off the Everett third with a single to center and went to third as Raleigh singled on a grounder to left. Nick Rodriguez singled to left off Franco’s glove, scoring Honeyman. Connor Kopach drove Raleigh and Rodriguez home with a triple to right center. Justin Grimm, a major league veter- an on rehabilitation, relieved Michael Plassmeyer as the Volcanoes came to bat in the third. Jose Layer led off with a walk, Rincones singled to left, and Villar singled to center with two out, scoring Layer. Rincones was thrown out trying to reach third on the play, and the inning ended with Everett leading 5-3. Ivan Fortunato took the mound for the AquaSox as the bottom of the fourth started, and Robinson Medrano led off with a home run to right cen- ter. Everett’s lead was cut to 5-4. It was an unusually rough start on the mound for the Volcanoes’ Gregory Santos, and Mark Meyer relieved him to start the sixth. Villar hit a one-out single to left in the Volcano sixth, but Fortunato re- tired the next batter. Ben Oyshko re- placed him on the mound and got the third out. In the Everett seventh, Raleigh hit a double to right center, and Josh Stow- ers drove him in by doing the same thing. A wild pitch moved Stowers to third, and Kopach scored him with a double down the left fi eld line. Sidney Duprey came in to pitch, and McCon- nell singled to center, driving in Ko- pach. The AquaSox had an 8-4 lead. Everett added three runs in the eighth. Hoover walked and went to second on a wild pitch. Raleigh walked, and Zach Becherer took the mound. A base on balls to Stowers loaded the bases. Rodriguez doubled to left, clearing the bases. Salem-Keizer loaded the bases in the eighth but failed to score. Rinco- nes hit a one-out double to right, and after another out Villar walked. Jamal Wade then took the mound, and Me- drano singled to right. However, a ground out ended the inning. The Volcanoes kept fi ghting in the ninth. Please see SKV, Page B4
