Sister Act: How two sisters are leading Grimsley girls soccer to conference championship contention

Sienna George didn't need to look to know her sister, Camryn, was open. She could hear, sense her, without needing to glance over her shoulder.

In the 21st minute of Grimsley girls' soccer clash with Southwest Guilford, Sienna coaxed the Cowgirl goalie out of position into the left corner of the box, then flicked the ball over her head, right to Camryn's awaiting feet for a chip-in within seconds to the back of the net.

"I just happened to be there," Camryn said. "It's, like, perfect chemistry."

There was no coincidence about it. It's a connection that dates back to evenings in the George backyard, shoving each other around in favor of scoring over the other, talking plenty of trash only to wash the contentious competition away by working as a duo to rebound and score, making each other better.

Thanks to the sister-to-sister goal, Grimsley (9-3-1) took an early lead and never relinquished it on Thursday night, defeating Southwest Guilford (7-5-1), 3-0, in Greensboro's Jamieson Stadium. With the win, the Whirlies are in control of first place in their conference at 5-0-1, with six conference games remaining in the regular season before they can clinch their longtime goal of a conference championship.

Camryn, Grimsley's leading scorer, finished with two goals, thanks to a free kick in the 58th minute.

The similarities between the two George sisters are obvious; they're both offensive threats on the same high school soccer team and ride home together. The differences take longer to pick out.

Camryn is a junior, older by two years. Her brown hair is darker and shorter. She stands taller than her younger sister, and she's not afraid to take up even more space with her voice. A bright green captain's band is wrapped around her arm, just above her jersey sleeve - perks of starting for the Whirlies ever since she was a freshman and possessing the instincts of a natural-born leader.

Sienna's smile is youthful, blue braces flashing with each grin. The freshman is known for radiating positivity, according to head coach Sarah Lord, and is always bringing the exact energy her team needs.

Separate, they're special. Together, they're lethal.

Growing up playing as a wing, Camryn's current position at Grimsley, Sienna also knows how to attack, even if she's usually further back in the midfield. The duo has a way of sniffing out goal-scoring opportunities.

"They can read each other," Lord said. "It's almost like they've got an intuition of where to put the ball. They also support each other. They're going to call each other out, but then they support each other at the same time. Camryn's been here for a while, Sienna is learning what it's like to be on a big field with ages 15-18 instead of [under] 15."

Weeks ago, Camryn found Sienna open for the freshman's first-ever varsity goal in eerily similar fashion to Thursday's goal. Sienna made sure to return the favor.

"I feel like we know how we both play together, since we pretty much grew up playing together and practicing together," Sienna said. "It's very easy to know when and where she's going to be, where to play it and where she likes to play it, too."

"We can almost read each other's minds, at this point," Camryn chimed in.

The celebration is the part they most enjoy. Even though, normally, they keep it lowkey, sharing a hug or a smile.

But on Thursday, Camryn couldn't contain her excitement, hoisting Sienna off the ground and spinning her around.

"Setting each other up for success," Camryn said, "that's really the goal."
