HUNTINGTON BEACH — Huntington Beach’s girls soccer team received white flowers and observed a moment of silence on the pitch Tuesday afternoon at Marina High. With white bows in their hair and #6 marked in white on their legs, the Oilers then played on for fallen teammate Kelly Reid.

Just a few yards from the field, two orange hearts — one for Reid and one for her father Pascal — hung on a fence as Huntington Beach competed in its first match since the pair died in a plane crash in Fullerton last week.

“(White) was Kelly’s favorite color,” Oilers coach Raul Ruiz said. “Kelly, now she’s our 12th man from the sky. She’s looking after us and she supports us.”

On the afternoon of Jan. 2, Reid — who had practiced earlier in the day with Huntington Beach — and her father were aboard a Vans RV-10 aircraft when it crashed into a manufacturing building short of the runway at the Fullerton Municipal Airport. Nineteen employees at the building were injured, including several burned.

Reid, a versatile junior, played forward and midfielder for the Oilers. Ruiz said she was capable of starting or coming off the bench but her impact extended well beyond the Xs and Os of soccer.

She was a positive influence on her teammates and coaches.

“She was always one of those ladies who would come greet you good morning and make sure you knew, ‘Hey, goodbye coach’ (after practice),” Ruiz said. “I was honored to be called her coach.”

Mia Gradel, a freshman midfielder for the Oilers, remembered how Reid comforted her earlier this season.

“After a game, I sat next to (Reid) and I know I looked upset because I didn’t like how I played and she just asked me what was wrong and I told her,” Gradel said. “She just keep telling me how good I played and how proud of me she was.”

Ruiz said Pascal consoled him last year after the coach’s mother died.

“Pascal came to me and gave me that hug and healed me,” Ruiz said. “And I knew where Kelly got (her caring nature from). … People like that are hard to find.”

Since the crash, a wellness team at Huntington Beach has supported students and staff, said Kayla Holmes, a spokesperson for the Huntington Beach Union High School District.

Reid also played flag football and lacrosse at Huntington Beach.

Ruiz called the last several days “tough” and that his team is healing “one day at a time.”

The squad, he added, was touched by the “beautiful” respect Marina’s team showed for Reid and her father. The Vikings presented flowers to the Huntington Beach players and coaches before the Sunset League match.

“We’re (a) Huntington Beach (community),” Marina coach Tony Zermeno said. “We knew (Reid). Some of the girls played with her (outside of high school).”

Huntington Beach beat Marina 2-0 behind a pair of goals by junior midfielder Sienna McAthy.

On Tuesday night, players from Edison and Newport Harbor wore white bows for Reid during their Sunset League match at Edison.

The Oilers (9-1-4, 1-0-0) plan to hold their own ceremony for Reid on Thursday before they play host to Fountain Valley at 5 p.m.

Huntington Beach is dedicating the remainder of the season to its beloved No. 6.

“(She’s) a source of motivation for all of us,” Gradel said. “We’re playing for her.”
