All in the Family – Sibling Duos in Utah

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are plenty of sister duos hitting the high school hardwood this fall—bringing defense, ball handling, and all-out hustle. Here are a few pairs you'll see suiting up together:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Yenchiks - Sage and Ember</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1292391,"width":"389px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/5952235028221347019.jpg-edited.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1292391" style="width:389px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='873280' first='Sage' last='Yenchik'] has been running the point at Provo High, and this summer she teamed up with her younger sister, [player_tooltip player_id='1235143' first='Ember' last='Yenchik'], on [program_tooltip program_id='903288' first='Complete' last='Athlete Northwest']. The two play with the same style—quick ball movement, sharp vision, and threading passes through tight lanes to find the open shot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Baldassanos - Alia and Elise</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1292154,"width":"335px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/Screenshot-2025-08-08-at-3.21.40-PM-edited.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1292154" style="width:335px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='796802' first='Alia' last='Baldassano'] is already on the watch list for this season, and she's got backup—her younger sister, [player_tooltip player_id='1277750' first='Elise' last='Baldassano'], will be on the floor with her at Alta. Elise, like Alia, is a defensive disruptor, and her offense and handles have taken a big step forward this summer. She's set to be a key piece for Alta this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Nielsens - Sophie and Ava</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1292326,"width":"383px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/820409264-edited.jpeg?w=819" alt="" class="wp-image-1292326" style="width:383px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='796799' first='Sophie' last='Nielsen'] led Brighton last season on both ends—top scorer and playmaker—and kept that same energy this summer with her club team, leading in points again. Right there with her has been her sister, [player_tooltip player_id='796891' first='Ava' last='Nielsen'], playing a steady supporting role every step of the way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Sikanders - Janiece and Aaliyah</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1292369,"width":"343px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/Screenshot-2025-08-08-at-8.09.36-PM.png?w=846" alt="" class="wp-image-1292369" style="width:343px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Big things come in small packages, and these sisters prove it. Both can pull the trigger quickly and knock down shots from anywhere. Give the younger one a little time to catch up, and [player_tooltip player_id='875195' first='Aaliyah' last='Sikander'] will show she's got the work ethic and shooting touch to make her mark at Pleasant Grove, where she and [player_tooltip player_id='796499' first='Janiece' last='Sikander'] will suit up this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The McArthurs - Mia and Ellie</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1292395,"width":"487px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2025/08/IMG_0285-crop-481x316-1754688673-edited.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1292395" style="width:487px;height:auto" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1274979' first='Mia' last='McArthur'] is a true floor general—steady, reliable, and able to score and defend. She's set to be a key leader for Fremont this year. This summer, she and her sister, [player_tooltip player_id='1247151' first='Ellie' last='McArthur'], both ran with [program_tooltip program_id='903254' first='Utah' last='NLB Pro'], bringing their game to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Warners - Charli and Peyton</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='873282' first='Charli' last='Warner'] made her presence known this spring at the state championship playoff, coming in as a freshman. Her younger sister is stepping into that same role this upcoming year and is looking to do the same. [player_tooltip player_id='952625' first='Peyton' last='Warner'] stepped into the role this summer for Lone Peak and showed up</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Nordstroms - Zuri and Indie</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='796473' first='Zuri' last='Nordstrom'] has been lethal for Lone Peak the past couple of years at the state tournament. She dropped in points at the end of games that needed a nail in the coffin. The older sister, Shawnee Nordstrom, also came before her doing the same, and now that legacy belongs to the younger sister, [player_tooltip player_id='898159' first='Indie' last='Nordstrom'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
