The depth of the Greater Houston basketball landscape was vast in 2025.
While it was thought to be a bit of a down year coming into the season, it saw five H-Town programs advance to the State Finals.
Duke signee Shelton Henderson of Bellaire was special. He led the HISD school to the brink of a State Title. The Cards had a shot at the buzzer to beat mighty Duncanville, which fell short.
Henderson was an easy choice at the top... the rest of the All-VYPE teams took hours of discussion and disagreements. It was that competitive.
Here are the All-VYPE Pubic School Teams of 2025.

PURPLE REIGN: Ridge Point Ace's Will Be Keys To Their Success
The Panthers return to the diamond after securing their third consecutive district championship within Fort Bend ISD, followed by a two-round playoff run. While their postseason ended earlier than expected last year, the Panthers will likely be motivated to improve on that result in 2025.
Coach Mike Dutka enters his second season at the helm of a program with a strong tradition of success, including a State Tournament appearance in 2021.
A key returning player is senior pitcher Jack McKernan (Texas commit), who is coming off a dominant first team, all-district performance. In addition to McKernan, the Panthers will rely on senior Mason Murphy (Sam Houston State), a second-team all-district selection, as another trusted arm in the bullpen.
Seniors Hayden Willey (DBU) and Jack Ward add plenty of leadership and will continue to contribute both offensively and defensively. Junior IF/RHP Logan Shields is another player to watch, as he is expected to make an impact in multiple areas.
