AWARD SZN: 2020 VYPE Houston Public School Boys Basketball All-VYPE Team

Apr 01, 2020

Tramon Mark is VYPE's Player of the Year

And thud...

The 2019-20 basketball season ended in an off-the-backboard brick as the COVID-19 virus put an end to the state tournament.

Houston had four teams advance to state and VYPE will grant all four teams a share of the Team of the Year Award. Each had a great story line.

Dickinson hadn't been to state in 65 years and was hitting on all cylinders entering Final Four weekend. 65 years!!!!

Hightower was led by super-soph Bryce Griggs and company, looking to make school history if they could have reached the state finals. Three Hurricane teams made the Final Four before this year's group but hasn't won a game at state in school history.

Yates was poised for their fifth state title in 11 years under the direction of coach Greg Wise. They set the consecutive record for scoring 100-points in a game, breaking their own record a decade ago.

That leaves Stafford. Coach David Montano had the Spartans two games away from their first title since 1992. Stafford was off the grid in the preseason, sneaking up on everyone en route to state.

Here are the All-VYPE teams and superlatives.

TORCH PASSED: McFarland, fellow seniors look to fuel MacArthur's next chapter // Powered by LOVB

MacArthur's Destiny McFarland

Bradley C. Collier (VYPE)

There's something to be said about timing in sports -- not just on the court, but in the natural rhythm of maturing as an athlete. For Destiny McFarland, a senior outside hitter for Aldine MacArthur, that timing has arrived.

After helping the Lady Generals clinch a second consecutive district championship last fall, McFarland now steps into a central role following the graduation of several cornerstone players —including District 14-6A MVP Jessika Martinez, Defensive Player of the Year Alexis Lopez, and first-team, all-district honoree LaShae Goffney.

VYPE Spotlight: Kole Whiddon of FBCA Football

With the Fall season already underway, it is officially our busiest time of the year, especially due to the number of campus-coordinated media days on our schedule.

Recently, our team traveled to Fort Bend Christian Academy for their annual Fall Media Day.

EYES ON THE PRIZE: Ebiringa brings humble poise to Hastings Cross Country rise

Alief Hastings' Angel Ebiringa

Jamey Wright (VYPE)

Some athletes find their sport early. Others are pulled in by purpose. At Alief Hastings, sophomore Angel Ebiringa falls into the latter category -- a rising talent who discovered long-distance running not out of passion, but out of necessity.

What began as a way to sharpen her stamina for basketball quickly turned into something more.
