Hey, do you know me?

At 6-feet, 10, Will Reinke is hard to miss in the crowded hallways of Lawton High School ... Or shopping malls Or movie theaters. Or restaurants. But in the Oklahoma high school sports scene, despite his two-sport talent, Reinke is pretty much overlooked everywhere outside of Lawton. The Lawton Wolverines will travel 3,663 miles to play basketball this season. They'll criss-cross Oklahoma, dip into Texas and Kansas and even venture to New Mexico before the playoffs inevitably send them right back on the road again. Such is life when just one Class 6A school is close by (Lawton Eisenhower) and the next nearest is almost 100 miles away. And because of that separation, few know Reinke and the fact he's one of the state's best big men in basketball and one of the finest pitchers and first basemen in the state. If Reinke had spent his summers playing AAU basketball with the state's premier athletes - guys like Daniel Orton, Xavier Henry and Kyle Hardrick - you would know exactly who he is. But this past summer Reinke couldn't give up his love of baseball and stayed among the anonymous in the Oklahoma sports landscape. "I've always liked baseball more,'' he said. "I've been playing it since I was little. It's my first love, I guess. But I've always known I'm better at basketball, though, with my height." The hard-throwing pitcher is also a big target as a first baseman. He hit .405 with four home runs and 35 RBIs last season. And basketball? He's a rebounding machine who averaged 12 points and 12 rebounds per game as a junior. After the whirlwind that's sure to unfold this year, he will be a basketball player only at Stephen F. Austin University. That is, unless he gets drafted in baseball. "Because of his size and the size of his hands, he has a great cutter and has his fastball up around 87 miles per hour," said Reinke's high school baseball coach, Billy Allen. "If he had the opportunity to just focus on baseball, Will could easily add four-to-five miles per hour on his fastball, which would be phenomenal. We have scouts envisioning him as a Randy Johnson-type." With such talent and size in two sports, it's easy to wonder what might happen if he just focused on one. Take away baseball, and he might be on a Big 12 campus next year. And he'd certainly be noticed more. "You know, not playing basketball this summer probably did hurt him some as far as exposure goes, but we'll be playing in a lot of places and a lot of people will get to see him," said Lawton's basketball coach, Kelly New. "You're only in high school one time, so go and enjoy it." New describes Reinke as a quiet, hard-working leader who runs the court exceptionally well and can even jump out and hit a 3-pointer. With most of the outside scoring gone from last year's 21-6 team at Lawton, Reinke's leadership and improved range figure to be of the utmost importance in his final season. The basketball schedule is rugged, with the Wolverines headed to Norman, Tulsa Union and Broken Arrow, along with tournaments in Liberal, Kan., and Hobbs, N.M. The Hobbs tournament is one of the nation's best. Last year, Lawton made an appearance in the finals where they lost an overtime thriller to Highland, N.M. This year, Lawton's back and Reinke is bound to get some publicity out of it. If Reinke shines in such environments, the attention is sure to follow. Last year, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor and Nebraska all expressed interest after seeing or hearing about the Lawton star. This time, it won't lead to anything different as colleges go. "Hobbs is a very elite tournament. They bring in teams from California, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona," said New. "They'll put 5,000 (fans) in the gym every night, so it's really like a college atmosphere. '' With names like Orton, Henry and Hardrick commanding the most ink and playing in a more ripe media environment, Reinke will have to show plenty to steal some headlines. "I can't pay too much attention to that, but it definitely makes me work twice as hard," said Reinke. "They are all great players. I had a chance to play on their summer team, but I just chose to play baseball instead."
