Harmon, Hunter lead 2021 All-VYPE Girls Public School Basketball Team
HOUSTON - What a season it was for women's basketball in Houston.
The city had Cypress Creek reach the Class 6A State Championship game for a second-straight year and reached the state tournament for the third time in four seasons. Cy Creek fell short of DeSoto but the numbers for the group are phenomenal.
There was so much great talent in the city, so it's time to name the Public School All-VYPE teams.
