REYNOLDS RETURNS

A core piece of the State Championship Men’s puzzle, Matt Reynolds has signed on for 2017. Matt’s rise as a player in recent seasons has been indicative of when preparation and opportunity meet. Upon getting a full time call up to our State Championship Men’s program 3 seasons ago, Matt began a process of devoting more time to improving his game and taking his physical condition to a career-best level, enabling him to be at his quickest, fittest and strongest. The accumulation of his work resulted in his best statistical year at this level, as Matt went from 10.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game to 14.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

‘I’m very happy to be back on board and feeling excited for the year ahead’, Matt said, ‘we have had some changes to our roster and have a new Head Coach, so I’m embracing the program feeling differen – it’s fresh and new and we have an opportunity to come together and push again to get to finals.’

Though last season’s team results didn’t go the way he would’ve liked, Matt’s individual performances clearly reached new heights, particularly evident in his games against Eltham and Werribee last season where he had 15 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and then 20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists respectively in those games to showcase his ability to impact the game in many ways. He was recognized as a Big V All Star and represented Victoria Metro in the

‘I am excited to have Matt back on board for 2017. Having coached against Matt for a number of seasons, I look forward to working with him - last season he took his game to a higher level and the challenge is to again continue that improvement’, Head Coach Ross Moll states.

DVBA CEO Ross Wignell adds ‘‘Matt had a very good individual season in 2016, being named the team’s MVP. He has developed his offensive output to become one of the toughest guards to contain in the competition. I am really looking forward to seeing how Matt improves his game for the season ahead. I would like to see him become more influential on and off the court as we work towards assembling a very competitive group for 2017’.
