Hannah and Heart Lising, twin sisters from the Philippines who've led Sun Valley Poly to a City Section Division I title, share a special bond.
Hannah Lising has 35 points and Alyssa Jaime makes a critical free throw in double overtime to lift the Parrots past LACES for City Division I title.Hannah and Heart enrolled at Poly in the height of the pandemic, unfamiliar with online schooling or Zoom. They were often shy, both Gregorio and Batiste recalled them speaking English as a second language while trying to better understand grammar.
Such is life, though, when you’re attached at the hip. Basketball wasn’t their primary sport — simply a hobby because their real sport in the Philippines was badminton, where the two were partners good enough to play on the country’s junior national team.Sun Valley Poly guard Hannah Lising blocks a shot by Maya Sano of LACES in City DI girls’ final. Poly won in OT. Lising finished with 35 points.
The first game they played their freshman year, Batiste remembered, she subbed one of them out — and the other would keep scanning the sideline every time she ran up and down the court. The coach didn’t remember which was which. This was a common problem.They both averaged more than 15 points a game last season to lead Poly to a 15-5 record, though, and have further developed their basketball IQ as juniors.
