Two Rolfzens are Even Better Than One

ATLANTA (June 30, 2011) – Any volleyball coach could ask: “What is more impressive than a 6-3, 17-year-old athlete that stands out even while playing at the highest level?” The answer is: two versions of that description.

Amber and Kadie Rolfzen (Papillion, Neb.), who are competing in the USA Volleyball Girls’ Junior National Championships at the Georgia World Congress Center with Nebraska Juniors 17-1 in the 17 Open Division, are fraternal twins and three-sport athletes attending Papillion- La Vista South High School. Together, the Rolfzen girls play volleyball, basketball and run track.
