Who’s the better captain and why?
Abbey: I’m a better captain because I lead by example.
Mike: No I’m a better leader because I’m more vocal and keep everybody on track. Abbey is a better floor general, I’ll give her that.
One-on-one in your driveway. Who’s winning?
Mike: Me
Abbey: Michael because he’s bigger and stronger. I can shoot better though. Like if we did a 3-Point contest I would definitely out shoot you Mike.
Mike: Abbey may be able to outshoot me but it doesn’t matter ‘cause I’m the best.
Did you guys get into playing basketball at the same time?
Mike: I was first and Abbey came shortly after, but it was evident that we were both going to play because of our dad.
Abbey: Yeah, also my cousin Sammie always played and she is older than me so I looked up to her growing up
Mike: I guess you could say basketball runs in the family.
Do you two have a memorable moment together involving basketball?
Abbey: Mike I just thought of that 3 on 3 tournament we won.
Mike: Oh definitely. Abbey, Joey Fenderson and I won a three on three tournament in Maine. We schooled those kids.
Respectively, for your teams, what do you hope to accomplish this season?
Mike: I hope to bring us to a state championship appearance. And hopefully an MVC small division championship. It’s my last year for high school ball, I want to do as much as I can to have my team end up victorious.
Abbey: I’m hoping to improve our record from last year. A huge accomplishment for us would be to make playoffs but I believe we could because we have experienced and young players that are ready to play.
Being your first year as captains, how do you guys plan on tackling the primary leadership role for the first time in your basketball careers?
Mike: I won’t be alone, I’ll have the help of my teammates the whole way through. I have their back and they have mine, everyone will play their role and we will compete collectively. I also will lead the way setting the intensity level in practice very high.
Abbey: I’m going to be more of leading by example. I’ll also be vocal by picking up my teammates when they’re down and always having their back.
Mike: I wanted to add that I want to lead in the effort category, I want to be the first on the ground and the first to every loose ball. That’s why I’m a better captain Peter.
Me: Yes Mike good.
Do you guys have a hype song?
Abbey: I want to say “Trophies” by Drake.
Mike: No Abbey what the heck that’s my song you can’t copy me.
Abbey: Oooh siblings that agree?
Mike: No Peter don’t put that she stole it from me.
How is family life at the Battaini residence, are you guys competitive?
Mike: No I know I’m better than Abbey at everything.
Abbey: Michael’s just cocky. I’m more humble you know? That’s why I’m the better captain.
Me: Yes Abbey good.
Mike: Abbey you know I'm the best Fifa player in the house don’t lie.
Finally, who is the favorite child?
Mike: Abbey.
Abbey: Me. I’m just a lot more thoughtful and caring for everyone. Plus I’m the youngest and the only girl.
Mike: I’m more of a people’s person though, and I do more for the community.
Abbey: Michael you still owe me ten dollars from last week what are you talking about.
