Cy Springs' Ayla McDowell is VYPE Player of the Year for public schools
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.

Cory Laxen has been named the new head football coach at CE King High School… and he is pumped about the opportunity.
The offensive line coach and associate head coach for the Panthers will replace George Young.
Laxen came over to CE King with now-athletic director Derek Fitzhenry, where they worked together at North Shore High School under the direction of coach Jon Kay.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with Laxen after the Panthers’ athletic period, where it’s business as usual.
Listen in.

Shelton Henderson of Bellaire is the VYPE Player of the Year
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.
