2020 Preseason All-VYPE Private School Volleyball Team
Welcome to the 2020 volleyball season. What a weird offseason it was for everyone. No club tournaments to travel to, limited training available but what that means is everyone should be fresh for the 2020 campaign.
Over the past few weeks VYPE has previewed 10 private school teams. So, now it is time to reveal the 2020 All-VYPE Private School team.

VYPE 411: AJ Harrell of The John Cooper School
Volleyball season is right around the corner! AJ Harrell of The John Cooper School is ready for a breakout season and looks to lead the Dragons to a deep playoff run. VYPE caught up with Harrell for the 411 on the star from The John Cooper School.
VYPE: How long have you been playing Volleyball and how did you get your start?
Harrell: This will be my 5th year playing volleyball, and I started playing on a whim in 7th grade. All my friends were doing it so I decided, "Why not?"
VYPE: Go-to pregame meal? Routine?
Harrell: My go-to pregame meal is a huge sweet potato with a huge salad. Then I listen to "You Rock My World" by Michael Jackson, do the same warm-up every time, and tell myself "Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust."
VYPE: Favorite subject in school?
Harrell: My favorite subject is math by far.
VYPE: What's your biggest strength? Or What do You Bring to Your Team?
Harrell: I tend to stay calm and positive during a pressure situation.
VYPE: Off the field, what is your favorite thing to do?
Harrell: Off the court I like to draw or dance around my room singing for as long as I can.
