Identical twin brothers—both guards—are playing for the Riverhawks men’s basketball team this season.

Avery Evans, a second-year business administration student, and Miles Evans, a second-year philosophy student, are the team captains. Second-year transfer studies student Angelo Harris is also a captain for this semester.

Men’s basketball head coach Joe Snowden said he “expects growth” from the twins.

“They’re good kids; they’ll move on to the [four-year college] level, I believe,” Snowden said. “But at this point right now, I want them to graduate.”

Avery said he and his brother have been playing basketball since they were little.

Miles added, “Our parents put us on every sport, so we kind of just found basketball as, like, our favorite.”

Both athletes played 25 games during the 2023-2024 season. Avery averaged 2.2 points per match, while his brother averaged three points per game.

The brothers played basketball at South River High School.

Avery said “it’s fun” playing with his brother.

“We’ve always been playing together,” Avery said. “We just have that added chemistry. So, it’s definitely … easier to transition [in-game].”

Miles added, “Playing with new teammates, you have to get adjusted. But we have played all our lives, so it’s a little easier.”

Snowden said he is “pleased coaching these two. No stress at all. They’re twins. They know each other inside and out.”
