He did it again in ’08, scoring a school-record 164 points, with an amazing 134 coming in the final five games. The 5-foot-10, 165 pounder wrapped up his career with 364 points, trailing only early 1920s Medina superstar Erastus “Tunk” Simmons, whose total is incomplete but estimated to be over 400.
Reisner’s 59 touchdowns trail only Simmons - once again who sports an incomplete total - and his 3,613 rushing yards are behind only Wadsworth’s Dru Jones (5,249, 2005-07), Buckeye’s Ron Brant (4,373, 1977-79) and Medina/Cloverleaf ’s Ted Wright (3,640, 1990-93).
All of Reisner’s county exploits that would make this column ridiculously long can be mulled over in the handy graphic at the top of the page. Reisner wasn’t alone, however, on the area’s No. 1 offense. Thanks to great running by quarterback Mike Kelly and running backs Shawn Cordes and Ryan McCormick, the Bucks as a unit broke the school record for rushing yards in a game (494 vs. Columbia) and became just the second team in school history to average over three bills on the ground.
