Arlington Basketball — A Family Tradition

Story and Photos by Brett B . Brewer arlington high

If there were a theme song for the Arlington basketball program , it should be Hank William Jr .' s " Family Tradition ". Why ? Well , given that there are four sets of siblings playing basketball , it fits the narrative . Yes , four sets of siblings .
The Arlington boys team features a starting backcourt tandem of Luke ( Senior ), and Sam ( Sophomore ) Wiseman , as well as the Price brothers , Ray ( Junior ) and Jake ( Sophomore ).
The Lady Tigers are represented with two sets of sisters as well . The Williams sisters , actually twins , Lanyce
and Lanetta , both Sophomores , and the Stewart sisters , Shenobia , a Junior and Nya , a Freshman .
These eight players have been very instrumental in the success of both programs this season . For the Tigers Boys team , both Sam and Luke Wiseman are starters at the guard positions , while Ray Price is a starter at forward . Brother Jake provides sharp shooting in a reserve role .
The William sisters offer a tough matchup for any team given their height . Both ladies stand over 6 feet tall .
Only sophomores , the duo will be a handful for opponents for years to come . The Stewart sisters provide another reason for a bright future . Nya a freshman guard , cracked the starting lineup while sister Shenobia has battled injuries and is contributing in a reserve role .
The family connection doesn ' t just end with players , it also includes dads as well .
Locally , the Wiseman name may have a familiar ring . Father Lang was a standout prep player at Bolton high school and later played his college
basketball
at
the
University
of
Tennessee . Lang also
coached the Arlington
Middle School team to
multiple district championships .
I mentioned how tall the Williams sisters are . When you see their dad Lance , you understand why . Lance is a former college center at DePaul University in Chicago , and stands 6-8 . He
played professional basketball overseas for several years .
For the Price , Wiseman , Williams , and Stewart siblings , Basketball at Arlington is definitely a family tradition .
