[1] After receiving the award at half-time of championship game, he went on to lead his team to victory over Castlewood High School to win 2000 South Dakota Boys State B Championship.

Reiner was named Player of the Year in South Dakota by USA Today, Gatorade, the Argus Leader (Sioux Falls, SD), the Mitchell (SD) Daily Leader, Rivals.com. He was named first team all-state and all-conference as junior and senior.
