One of the loves that they share is playing the game of softball together for Fort Bend Christian Academy. The sisters also have to deal with being teenagers with Crohn's Disease, which they have to get treatment for every eight weeks, and Hope also has diabetes, which she has to monitor during the game.
VYPE talked with the sisters at the Fort Bend Christian spring media day. Learn more about the Payton duo and how much fun they have playing together.
Watch out for Rosehill Christian in TAPPS private school play
The Eagles were on the cusp of bringing home a State Championship a year ago. Rosehill Christian reached the TAPPS 3A State Championship Game but fell just short. The Eagles finished the year 35-3 overall and a perfect 12-0 in district play.
Rosehill Christian has a legit shot of getting back and contending for the crown with four starters returning. A trio of first-team, all-state selections are back in Caitlyn Wilson (14 ppg, 6 rpg, 4 spg, 4 apg), Mercy Freeman (16 ppg, 10 rpg, 3 spg) and Madison Wilson (11 ppg, 5 rpg, 3 spg), who will lead the charge. Second-team, all-state pick Charity Montgomery is another one to watch after averaging nine points and eight rebounds per game.
Steve Krantz enters his 20th season of leading this team and has 421 career coaching victories.

Houston Christian going for back-to-back-to-back
This program has been a winning machine.
Last year, Houston Christian went an impressive 31-4 overall and took home the SPC 4A Championship. That marks back-to-back SPC crowns for the Mustangs. Now, with only one starter returning this will be a much different looking team. Kayla Philips returns as the lone starter.
Keys to success for second-year head coach Matt Moore (52-22) are “integrating new players, staying healthy and staying out of foul trouble”.
