Someone posed this question last week, "Who are the best set of twins to play sports in the area?"
Tough question.
Naturally, the Lapkowicz twins - Jared and Jeff - of Carmichaels came to mind. So did Jeremy and Josh Kemp of Fort Cherry. That could be due to the fact that the Lapkowicz and Kemp brothers were part of teams that either won or played for WPIAL championships, so the additional coverage added to the visibility.
Taking the originial question, let's broaden the topic and look at some of the better family combinations. We're looking at brother combos, sister combos, brother/sister, twins, triplets, basically whatever we can come up with, excluding parent/sibling, cousins, etc.
I came up with some. I'd like to hear who I'm missing.
Brother/sister
Connor and Taylor Schram, Canon-McMillan
Rashad and Vanessa Davison, Washington
Zach, Nate, Beka and Rachel Bellhy, Fort Cherry

Mike did they need to play on the same team at the same time for your list?
No. Those were just a few that popped into my head. I'd like to hear some others.
What about the Popeck brothers at Wash High?
How about Brendan and Jordan Cypher both had over 1000 points, and both led their teams to the playoffs.

I mean despite the drama, I beleieve the elephant in the room is the Stepolis. The Krall twins at Carmichaels were a tandem in football and Basketball. The Conways at California as well.
Thanks for all the great names from Wash High's past.
I've heard of all of these, but I never saw the Prexies play before 1998, so I'd rather hear readers' recollections.
Keep them coming.

Bentworth:
Babirad brothers
Conn brothers

I'm 95 percent certain that Tam Nixon is the only sprinter to beat Lauryn Williams in the 100 dash while Williams was at Rochester.
Tam WAS the last person to beat her!
