There are four boys and six girls from Cy-Fair High School's wrestling team who are going to state.

They are all talented, but two of them standout from the rest.

John Banas is the Cy Fair Wrestling Coach. "It's rare when you have one like that, but two have two from the same team and the same family, that's pretty incredible."

And one of the them gave up cheerleading to wrestle.

Angie Murray, "Cheerleading is not easy because you have to hold people up in the air and everything, but wrestling is about conditioning and it's not only physically but mentally challenging as well."

Angie Murray, a junior, is ranked number one in the area.

Brother Michael, a senior, is ranked number one in the state. Both are undefeated on the season and just for the record, Michael says Angie has never beat him in a fight... even the ones that took place when they were little.

Michael Murray, "She tried to pinch every now and then and did a little scratching. It's good we have the whole family wrestling also. The only person who doesn't do wrestling is my Mom."

And as Cy-Fair heads to Austin next week, Angie and Michael could become the first brother sister combination to ever win state wrestling titles.
