Green High School offers a variety of different sports, clubs, and other activities. Though even with all of these options there are many siblings you’ll find participating in the same sports.
Morgans
Lindsay Morgan, ‘24, and Alyssa Morgan, ‘27, not only play one sport together but two, Gymnastic and Track. Amidst the two year age gap between the sisters, they have been in gymnastics together for about ten years.” While gymnastics runs in the family it was the girl’s mother who really got them into the sport after signing them up for kinder classes when they were young. During track, both girls pole vault and are paving their way being the first ones in their family to compete in the event. Lindsay has done pole vault for 3 years while Alyssa just joined this year. Despite their two year age gap, Lindsay and Alyssa have still been able to compete on the same team in track, club gymnastics, school gymnastics, and have their share of memorable experiences together
“The positives is getting to experience these high school memories with my sister and there are no negatives.” Lindsay Morgan ‘25 said.
While the girls do sometimes get annoyed with each other, they appreciate getting to compete on the same team together and their competitive nature allows them to push each other everyday and get through the tough mental and physical practices together.
Caminoas
A second pair of same sport siblings are the Caminoas, Sami and Marcio, who both play soccer. Marcio has played soccer for about 11 years while Sami just recently joined the sport almost two years ago at the beginning of her freshman year. Marcio first started playing due to the popularity of the sport where he is from, Argentina, and the enjoyment his dad expressed for it. Seeing Marcio and her dad playing is also what pushed Sami to give it a try. While Marcio’s favorite part of the sport is the actual playing aspect, Sami enjoys the personal connection she’s made.
“My favorite memory from soccer is freshman year when I was on a team with all my friends.” Sami Caminoa ‘24 said.
The siblings have never gotten to play on the same team but are still able to enjoy the sport together and make new memories as a family.
Lipscombs
The third set of siblings is a senior-freshman duo who also both play soccer, Reese and Bradey Lipscomb. Both sisters have been playing soccer since they were little up to high school. Reese first started off playing soccer because her parents put her in youth soccer. While they’ve never been able to play on the same team due to their three year age gap, the sisters have got ten to go through summer conditioning and season practices together due to high school, where they were able to make many memories.
“One time during a summer practice all the upperclassmen brought squirt guns and got to go crazy at the end of soccer” Reese Lipscomb 24’ said
The sisters were only able to complete one season together, but playing on a team is an opportunity many siblings don’t get to experience. While it may have been short, the sisters were able to pick up good memories through the season.
