Rodney and Ronny Freeman are two brothers who are both on Skyline’s basketball team. In an interview with the duo, we got to know the Freeman brothers a little better.Rodney and Ronny played basketball casually ever since they were 5-years-old. It wasn’t until 1999, when they were at a pop-warner football event, that they participated in a sport really competitively. And it wasn’t until they were 11 when they became serious about basketball. They were inspired most by their grandparents, who instilled within them the philosophies “don’t quit something that you start” and “don’t let anyone talk you into quitting.””It’s cool, but at times it is annoying” said Ronny, jokingly, when asked what it is like to always be playing with his brother, “but we push each other to our limits.” And Rodney added “We understand each other on court.”Ronny, who is a broadcast/communication as well as a criminal justice major, said that he had to work on becoming stronger, faster and drilling with his left the most. Rodney, who is also a criminal justice major, but is interested in acting as well, says the biggest thing he had to overcome was his brother nagging him after each mistake.Commenting on why they came to Skyline, when they went to high school in San Francisco, they both said “To see something different and meet different people.” This being their sophomore year, they are getting ready to transfer to a four-year university. They aren’t sure where they want to go yet, but they are clear on one thing: they want to go out of state. And another thing they are certain about is continuing to play basketball, wherever they choose to go. “Basketball makes the school year go fast” Rodney said. These two brothers are proud of this past season. They said that their coach, Justin Piergrossi, remarked that this was the best season he had in the five years that he has been coaching here at Skyline. However, their recent loss to the undefeated Fresno Rams is weighing pretty heavily on their minds. As they are leaving Skyline, they are going to miss their teammates. “Off of the basketball court, we [the team] would help each other with school work.” The two brothers said. “And when we were on the court, we helped people know their positions, especially the freshmen. We were like one big brotherhood.”
