Daily News | Basketball forged the Wilson sisters’ bond, and they’ll share the court again at West Point
It’s been an unusual summer for Brooke Wilson. Between the offseason basketball training sessions, some days the Archbishop Carroll rising senior feels lost. That’s because her partner and confidant is no longer there with her.
“We both want to live our life with a purpose,” Brooke, a point guard, said of their commitment to West Point. “We want to have a purpose in our life. We want to make a difference, make a change, and we think that West Point will provide us with the resources and opportunities to do so.” In March, Taylor got a call from Traversi asking how she would feel if Army offered Brooke. Without hesitation, Taylor responded, “I would love to play with her,” her parents, Jen and David Wilson, recalled.
“Brooke said, ‘I’ll commit right now,’ ” David said. “Taylor gets up, goes over to her, and says, ‘You don’t know how happy you just made me,’ It was a pretty special moment.” “They’re really good teammates,” said Renie Shields, Carroll’s girls’ basketball coach. “That’s one thing you’ll notice, like when they played with [Saints] Colman-John Neumann School [for CYO]. It’s never all Taylor or all Brooke, and that speaks volumes for who they are.”
A midseason stretch exemplified their cooperation. The Patriots, who finished 15-12, were in a slump. They fell toin the Philadelphia Catholic League semifinals, and it was hard to bounce back. Taylor and Brooke butted heads at one point, but if they wanted to turn the season around, they needed to work together.
