Meeting the Tull trio

Meeting the Tull trio

Says "now, from the jim sigel automotive sports desk, newswatch 12 sports with cameron derby."

It is pretty rare to find two sisters playing for the same college basketball team.

But in a twin brother that pays for the men's team at the same college, it gets downright fun.

We would like to introduce you to the tull family.

Getting all three of them in the frame for an interview was difficult.

But how close these three hustin' owls are sitting, doesnt come close to illustraiting how close they are as a family, and as competitors.

The tull siblings are this week's amateur athletes.

çáátull siblings lineááÑ "so i think about two and a half weeks ago, we were playing monoploly and after we finished that game we didn't speak a word to each other for the rest of the night.

So, it is pretty competitive in our household.

Nobody wants to lose.

We are too competitive."

çáátopic lineááÑ whenever basketball comes back, sibling competitiveness will turn to teamwork when all three of the tull siblings suit up for the oregon tech owls.

Maddison is already a sophomore for the lady owls.

And had her breakout game against evergreen state shen she scored 20 points and added 6 rebounds.

"she is a really good leader.

That is one of the things that is really strong about her and her biggest strength is probably post moves.

She will kill someone on a spin move i swear."

And grant's twin sister kennedy will join the owls next season as a freshmen.

But don't let her size fool you.

Kennedy was the butte league mvp in 2019.

"she is super scrappy.

She will pick someone up for 94 feet and guard them all down the court.

She loves defense.

She uses her defense to make up for another she may be lacking in which is height but she is really tenacious on the floor.

She has a lot of high energy."

But even through the competitiveness that siblings carry, they are excited to be a family at the same school "i think after we sat down and talked about it and said "wow this actually a reality," we were kind of excited about it.

Growing up we were always each other's biggest fans.
