"The young people have won the 600 games," Reynolds said. "I've been here administering it. It's nice to have a program to where the young people can bring forth that many wins.

"It makes you feel old to a certain degree. I've had an awful lot of good athletes come through and an awful tolerant family that's allowed me to do it. The lifestyle I've been allowed to have here at Otterbein has been tremendous."

Tyler Ousley had 30 points and had 15 rebounds for Otterbein.
