RINDGE -- Jennifer and Johannah Leedham have that rare chemistry on the basketball court.
The type of chemistry that only comes with siblings.
And in Friday's Northeast-10 semifinal, they showed just how in sync they are.
Early in the first half, Jo faked toward the corner of the baseline, but Jen knew exactly where her younger sister would actually be.
As the American International College defender tried to cheat to the outside, Jo cut backdoor and the pass was in perfect position for a layup.
"It's a natural feel we have playing with each other," Jen said.
"I can just give her a look," added Jo.
And it is their ability to essentially read each other's minds that makes them a nightmare for opponents.
"Their instincts to where each other is going to be on the court is phenomenal," said Franklin Pierce women's coach Mark Swasey.
But their road taken to basketball superiority is certainly the one less traveled.
