AWARD SZN: 2024 All-VYPE Softball Teams powered by Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine
Additionally, programs such as Katy, Lake Creek, Heights, Bridgeland, Brazoswood, Foster, Oak Ridge, and Barbers Hill were among the plethora of Houston-area teams to have extended playoff runs over the past few weeks.
The Episcopal Knights claimed their seventh-consecutive SPC championship to further solidify their dynasty-status, while St. Agnes Academy ultimately took home the TAPPS-D1 title, which marked the first time they've done so since 2019.
Other teams of note within the private school sector include Cypress Christian, Kinkaid, FBCA, Concordia Lutheran, John Cooper, TWCA, Lutheran South Academy, Houston Christian, and St. Pius X.
Given all that information, here are the 2024 All-VYPE Softball Teams presented by Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine.

TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS
Darcy Wright 83
Leighton Kelly 99
Coach Rod Gold: Coach Rod Gold: As proud as I am of the girls for coming out as tournament champions, I’m equally as proud of them for enduring the elements and having the mental aptitude to overcome and persevere. Golf is an individual sport as opposed to a team sport, you have no teammates to rely upon for your immediate score, sometimes we don’t get off to the best start, but you just keep grinding and doing your best, and in the end, that resulted in a championship for the girls. I’m extremely proud of them and excited for the upcoming season.
