The
Southlake Carroll (Southlake, Texas) girls basketball team is one Jordan sister short of running an all-sibling starting five. The Dragons are thriving with junior Milania, sophomores Natalia and Gianna, and freshman Nadia leading the way.
As the regular season winds down, the quartet is averaging 49 points per game for Southlake Carroll (26-5), according to a
story in the Dallas Morning News. In a recent 67-40 win over Keller (Timber Creek) Gianna led the way with 20, Natalia scored 19 while Nadia added 12 and Milania six.
"We have all played with each other our whole lives. To be in high school together is just a blessing," Melania told the Morning News. "I love playing with them. Our chemistry is on another level."

Basketball is in the genes as father Walsh played at Ole Miss and was a trainer of NBA players including Marcus Smart before getting into the real estate business. There actually is a fifth sister, 28-year-old Aurmani Degar, who played at Mansfield Timberview and SMU.
"I don't have any more," Walsh Jordan told the Dallas Morning News. "People would always ask, did I want boys? I was like, absolutely. What man doesn't? But when my girls came, I got so close to them and I fell in love with them."
All four are top 25 players in their classes with Milania holding offers from SMU, Abilene Christian and others.
"It's been cool because I started out with one Jordan and the next year two came and that was three and now there's four," Southlake Carroll head coach Robyn McCoart told
DFW Inside High School Sports. "I was like ‘Hey, y'all got any more kids?'"
