Reyes was named 31-5A Most Valuable Player last season while also earning All-Area Player of the Year honors.
As a junior, Reyes was named the best setter in District 31-5A while earning All-Area First Team honors while also being named the best setter in District 31-5A and the All-Area Best Setter as a sophomore.
Reyes was named the District 31-5A and All-Area Newcomer of the Year as a freshman.

“We are so excited to add Natalie to our program,” Lowery said. “We have followed her throughout her high school and club career and watched her grow into the player she is today. We always want to keep the best talent here in the Rio Grande Valley and Natalie has proven herself on the court by being the Area Player of the Year, but her leadership and ability to be a great teammate and make other around her better is what really attracted us to her. She is a perfect fit for our team’s culture.”
