GARYÂ â West Side seniors Paris and Parion Roberson are twins, but from their perspective, they couldn t be more different.
First off, they re fraternal twins, so it s not hard to distinguish one from the other. Paris stands 5-foot-11, while Parion is 6-3. When we were in middle school, people used to just think we were best friends. They didn t know we were twins, Parion said. And since I m taller, one of my friends actually thought I had flunked.
Parion couldn t help but laugh as he reflected on the incredulous looks some of his peers and teachers had when they discovered that he s not only related to Paris, but that they share the same birthday, Aug. 28, 2002.

Hammond coach Larry Moore Jr. knows Harold Woods wishes he had another chance.
The Wildcats senior guard missed a short jump shot against Lawrence North that would ve capped off an upset victory over the Wildcats, who are ranked as the No. 1 team in the state by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association.
Instead, No. 20 Hammond left the Sneakers for Santa Shootout at Brownsburg on Dec. 5 with a 52-51 loss. Woods finished the game with two points on 1-of-8 shooting from the field. He was definitely bothered by it, Moore said. His head was down, but I told him to keep his head up. . The other guys (Darrell) Reed and Reggie (Abram) supported him through that moment, and that (senior) core is who is going to lead us all year.
