Cy Springs' Ayla McDowell is VYPE Player of the Year for public schools
I'M LOVING IT: McDonald's All-American McDowell takes home POY; All-VYPE teams announced
Ayla McDowell of Cypress Springs was the brightest star in Greater Houston over the past several months.
The McDonald's All-American was elite her senior season, building her resume as she heads to the University of South Carolina in the fall. Her team fell just short of the State Final Four, but her legacy was already cemented.
Summer Creek took home the State trophy for the first time in school history with the help of junior Kennedy Simpson, while Hightower was loaded with stars en route to the State Finals.
Here are the All-VYPE 2025 Girls Basktetball Public School Teams.

STORM WARNING: Here come the No. 2 Hightower Hurricanes
2 — HIGHTOWER HURRICANES
The Hurricanes are coming off a Regional Finals appearance in 2024 and look to build on that to try and propel the program to a State appearance.
Fort Bend Hightower went 31-4 a year ago and fifth-year coach Jasmine Brewer returns three starters off that squad.
TABC All-Region selection and Loyola University-commit Chandler Preston-Caver (10.7 ppg), Newcomer of the Year Ogechi Okeke (10 ppg, 7 rpg), and second-team, all-district pick Kailee Beaudion-Foliaki (7.1 ppg, 3.1 rpg) – a Northeastern University-commit – are set to return.
Keys to success for the Hurricanes include mental toughness, locking-in defensively and playing with discipline.
