The Second Baptist School and St. Francis Episcopal captured their respective TAPPS State Titles this winter, hitting huge shots at the right time.
Reese Alston of Second Baptist was our VYPE Private School Player of the Year, leading the Eagles all season. The point guard is just a sophomore and has plenty more upside, which is scary to opponents.
Sebastian Williams-Adams is the city's top private school senior recruit, signing with No. 1 Auburn, while Nigel Walls is headed to SMU.
Here are the ALL-VYPE Teams for 2025.
