Sister Duos that Rocked the Sizzle

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is one of my absolute favorite articles to write every year. As someone who still plays volleyball with my own sister, I love seeing sisters on the court together! It is always fun to put this article together and see what sister duos are dominating!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id="122532" first="Annalise" last="Patchett"] (Outside, 2024) and [player_tooltip player_id="178238" first="Ava" last="Patchett"] (Setter, 2025) &nbsp;– Fox Valley Lutheran</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These sisters are both very talented.

Faith has really developed into an aggressive and quick middle who gets her hands up on everything at the net. She also has a ton of power. She earns a lot of points for her speed and quick execution of the ball. Mia is an up-and-coming pin hitter who is very well-rounded in her skills. She can play on either pin and is playing with the Badger Region High-Performance team as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>[player_tooltip player_id="91940" first="Annika" last="Braund"] (Outside, 2023) and [player_tooltip player_id="181818" first="Jozie" last="Braund"] (Outside, 2024) – Sauk Prairie</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Annika and Jozie are two pins you shouldn't mess around with.
