Mishawaka ― Tyler Reinoehl has seen plenty of playing time on the Mishawaka football team. He usually lines up as a defensive back, but during the Sectional Championship game, he stepped up for two injured players at the full back position. Rushing for 149 yards and two touchdowns, including the game winning 50 yard touchdown. Coaches say he's the definition of a leader.

"Quite a leader, just a kid, you know he'll get people up," says Mishawaka head coach Bart Curtis. "But you just know if he's in the game or he's somewhere around the ball something good's gonna happen."

Reinoehl has been playing since fourth grade. But he doesn't let it get in the way of his studies.

"It's definitely something that makes me sore and tired," says the junior at Mishawaka High School. "But I go home, get my homework done and just go to bed."

"You see him out there and he's playful and a great kid," adds Coach Curtis. "Then you go and you look and he's got a 3.9 GPA. So he knows when to be serious and when to have a good time."

While his goal right now may be a State Championship, he has plenty of help staying focused on the future.

"My parents are definitely on me about my grades," says Reinoehl. "They definitely keep me up and I need to keep my GPA up to get into a good college."

Congratulations to Tyler Reinoehl, WSBT and Burger King Outstanding Student Athlete.
