Inside the mind of Sam and Paige Borsos

Twins Sam and Paige Borsos (’12) were kind enough to talk to The Viking about what goes on in their minds. The dynamic duo dominates both the volleyball and basketball courts.

On Volleyball

Sam: We are beasts at volleyball. We are basically like the next Misty May and Kerri Walsh.

Paige: We play on the court and the beach. We came in third in a beach tourney together two years ago. We work really well together on the beach.

S: I am obviously better at volleyball.

P: Sam obviously gets a little cocky sometimes because I obviously have a higher vertical when it comes to blocks.

On Basketball

P: We have been playing basketball since second grade and have also been the same height since second grade, 5″6′.

S: People used to call us twin towers because we were taller than five feet in second grade and we used to play post.

P: We still like to think of ourselves as twin towers even though we are vertically challenged at our age.

S: We are still twin towers at heart.

S: I do not even need to look up to know where Paige is on the court.

P: We have twin telepathy on the court. I will just have a feeling that Sam is open on the court. Oh and Mary Albertolle (’11), she is also our third twin. She is the triplet, a real twin.

On Twin-ism

S: It’s a love-hate relationship between the good twin and the evil twin.

P: Sam’s nickname on the basketball team is ET because she’s the evil twin and I am GT because I’m the good twin.

On Facebook

S: We have a Facebook basketball family. It consists of Lauren Mah (’10), our mother and our father, Alec Wong (’12) who is on the JV basketball team. We are the children with Aaron Zelinger (’12) and our dog is Jordan Plemons (’13), aka Sparky. We are one big happy family. We are the Brady Bunch of basketball.

On driving

S: I am 16.

P: I am 16 and three minutes older than Sam.

S: I got my permit first.

P: I failed my permit test the first time but now we both have our licenses and even got them on the same day.

S: I got 100 percent on my permit test.

P: Whatever! No one cares, it’s a permit test and it doesn’t make any difference! Even though I failed my permit test I am still a better driver.

S: That is a lie.

S: Paige hit the trash cans one time.

P: Sam almost killed a person one time.

S: Paige almost killed a person multiple times and also she drove on the sidewalk once.

P: Sam tried to drive though a row of steel bars so she could drive through Paly quad, which is completely dangerous. Our coach, Scott, says I am the better driver.

P: We have to take two separate cars to a friend’s house; we are not very environmentally friendly. We waste gas.

S: I would get there first.

P: Sam goes 40 miles per hour over dips.
