The son of Vir- ginia and the late Bob Reinig, rural Portsmouth, Larry was born and raised on a farm near Ports- mouth and was an outstanding basketball player for Panama/ Portsmouth in the mid-1960's. The 6-foot-5 Reinig finished as the all-time leader in games played, points, rebounds and blocked shots at St. Mary's of Panama/Portsmouth from 1964- 1967 - the final seasons before those towns consolidated into Harlan Community Schools. His team finished with a winning re- cord all three seasons. Reinig tallied 38 points and 36 rebounds in the final game of his career, and he later played in the annual Earling Basketball Tournament for 20 years, as well as playing town team basketball and baseball.
