Sisters Libby and Jennah Lee have played key roles in leading the Glenn High School girls basketball team to the UIL Class 5A Division I state championship game. Libby, a junior guard, is one of the top players in the Austin area, while Jennah, a freshman post, has made a smooth transition to the varsity level. The sisters come from a family with a strong athletic pedigree, as their mother Veronica was a standout volleyball player at the high school and college levels in the 1990s.

Why it matters

The Lee sisters' success at Glenn continues a family legacy of athletic excellence in the Austin area. Their mother Veronica was a star athlete at the now-closed Johnston High School in the mid-1990s before going on to lead Long Beach State to the 1998 NCAA national volleyball title. The sisters' run to the state championship game also highlights the rare opportunity for siblings to play together and experience winning at the high school level.

The details

Libby and Jennah Lee have been instrumental in Glenn's deep playoff run. Libby is one of the top players in Central Texas and is being recruited by numerous college programs, while Jennah has made a smooth transition to the varsity level as a freshman post player. The sisters' versatility allows Glenn coach Katina Flournoy-Walker to move them between the paint and perimeter, creating matchup problems for opponents. While the sisters have different on-court personalities, with Libby described as 'smooth and nonchalant' and Jennah as the 'mean one', they push each other to be their best.

What they’re saying

“It's something special. A lot of people don't get to (play with a sister). We're very close, so it's always fun on the court. We're always laughing and smiling, and we just love (being on the same team).”

— Libby Lee, Junior guard (statesman.com)

“Having her on the team makes it easier for me to play to the best of my abilities because she holds me to a high standard. Libby is very advanced in basketball, and we can always look to her whenever we need help.”

— Jennah Lee, Freshman post (statesman.com)

“(Jennah) is the mean one. She will turn it on and is very aggressive. … Libby is just smooth and nonchalant. You don't know if she's mad. You don't know if she's hurt. You don't know if she's just cool. Her face doesn't change it all. So (opponents) don't know if they're getting under her skin.”

— Katina Flournoy-Walker, Head coach (statesman.com)
