THE REEL: Stars, teams shine at VYPE Hoops Fall Showcase; highlights
VYPE got a sneak peek at the Greater Houston girls basketball scene, hosting the VYPE Hoops Fall Showcase at the Texas Tornados facility in Cy-Fair last weekend.
Forty-eight teams participated in the event as the city’s best were on display.
Cy Springs, CE King, Dawson, Summer Creek and Klein Oak looked solid in Class 6A, while Lake Creek and Iowa Colony flexed as a contending Class 5A squads. Kinkaid was one of the top private schools in the building.
“This event gets bigger and better each year,” VYPE tournament director Ashley Turrentine said. “Seeing players like Aniya Foy (Kansas State), Chaney Spencer (Texas A&M) and Jemini Mitchell all play in the same gym is awesome, while previewing the best teams in Houston. As a basketball fan, I look forward this tournament every year.”
Check out some of the action.
PUSHING THE PACE: Summer Creek, FB Austin, Cy Springs trending in VYPE Girls Rankings
Summer Creek, FB Austin and Cypress Springs are Houston’s Big Three in 2024 heading into the girls basketball postseason.
Summer Creek and Fort Bend Austin are the queens of Class 6A Region III, while Cypress Springs and Klein Collins hope to get past the likes of DeSoto and Duncanville in Region II.
Class 5A will be an interesting battle with Lake Creek, Randle, Manvel and Montgomery trying to knock off Region III defending champion Fulshear. There is so much individual talent in the city as McDonald’s All-Americans Justice Carlton (Seven Lakes) and Me’Arah O’Neill (Episcopal) make their final playoff run.
Kinkaid and Rosehill Christian have legit shots are winning their respective leagues.
Stay tuned.
