“It’salotoffunplayingwithhimbecausewegrewupplayingtogether inourgrandparent’sbackyard,”Kebrina said. “Beforethegameshe’salwayshypingmeup.Itreallymeansalottohearmybrothercheeringformeupinthestandswhichmotivatesmetoplayevenbetter.”
Another advantage Kebrinaexplainsisthefactthattheycanhelpeachotherimproveontheirgame.
“Whenwegetdonepractic-ingweworkwitheachotherandtry to make ourselves better,”Kebrinasaid.“Wejustfeedoffofeachother.”
MarcellLucasisnotashamedof takingpointers fromhis sis-ter.
“She’s always helping meimprove on my shooting anddribbling,”Marcellsaid.
Although they use eachother’s talent to improve them-selves, there was a time whenlosingledtoembarrassment.
“Wewouldalwaysgooutinthe back yard and play basket-ballandweplayedagainsteach
otheronedayandIbeathim,”Kebrinafondlyrecalled.“IwassoexcitedbecauseIdidstuffhecouldnotdosoIreallyembarrassedhimwhichmadehimcry.”
Marcell,whilelaughing,doesnotdenythatembarrassingmem-oryandevensaysthatitwasnotuncommonforKebrinatobeathiminone-on-one.
Kebrina,withherstrongpersonalityanddominatingbasketballskills,saidthatshewasnotalwaysthisconfident.
“Backinmiddleschool,Iwasveryscaredandnervoustoplay

BecauseMarcell graduated from Baldwyn High School andKebrinagraduatedfromNewAlbanyHighSchooltheydidnotgettoseeeachotherplaymuch.
“I really never got to see my sister play basketball in highschool,”Marcellsaid.“Nowthatwegotothesamecollege,Ire-allyenjoywatchingherplay.”
Althoughtheydonothavetoworryabouthelpingeachotherstudy,Kebrinajokinglyclaimsthatsheisthe‘smarterone’.
However,bothathletes said that theyusebasketballasdisci-plinetostudymore.
Kebrina and Marcell bothcredittheirloveofbasketballtotheirfamilymembersthathaveinspired and motivated themalongtheway.
Kebrina’s motivation comesfromthewomenclosesttoher.
“Mymotherandgrandmoth-ercometoallthegamesandaresuchaninspirationtome,”Ke-brinasaid.
Marcell is encouraged withthe knowledge of his family’spast accomplishment and suc-cess.
“Hearingaboutmy relativesplaying ball and achieving alot has inspired me to achievesomethinginmylifetime,too,”Marcellsaid.
