At Uncommon Charter High School in Brooklyn, twin sisters Alana and Alyssa Moye aren’t just teammates—they’re the driving force behind one of the best seasons in the school’s history.
The senior guards have been instrumental in Coach Kenisha Lee’s fast-paced offense, helping Uncommon Charter secure a stellar 12-2 record in Division 2A of the Basketball Girls Varsity Public Schools Athletics League (PSAL).

With their dynamic playmaking and relentless energy, the Moyes have elevated their team to contender status. Their chemistry on the court is undeniable, a product of years spent perfecting their craft together.

Whether it’s Alana threading a pinpoint pass to Alyssa on a fast break or Alyssa knocking down a clutch three-pointer or jumper off an Alana assist, the twins’ connection has been a nightmare for opposing defenses. “They know exactly where the other is at all times,” said Coach Lee.

“That kind of chemistry is rare, and it’s been a huge advantage for us this season.” While the regular season success has been rewarding, the Moyes have their sights set on a bigger goal—making a deep run in the playoffs.

They know that for Uncommon Charter to thrive in the postseason, the team must tighten up key areas of their game.

“We have to be more aggressive and minimize turnovers,” said Alana. “That’s what will separate us in the playoffs.” Alyssa echoed that sentiment, emphasizing the importance of maintaining their intensity. “We’ve shown we can compete with anyone, but now it’s about staying locked in and executing under pressure,” she said.

As the postseason approaches, Uncommon Charter’s opponents know they’ll have their hands full with the Moye twins leading the charge. With their leadership, skill, and unwavering determination, Uncommon Charter isn’t just looking to make the playoffs—they’re aiming to make history.
