Farrah Sheeren (VYPE)
Editor's Note: Each All-VYPE Team designation (First-Team, Second-Team, etc.) consists of 10 athletes, excluding Honorable Mentions, which will include additional players. Selections were made based on a combination of overall impact on team success, individual performance, statistical achievement, and postseason and consensus recognition earned throughout the season, rather than by position alone. Players within each team are listed alphabetically by last name.

The result is a collection of the area's most dynamic and accomplished athletes — competitors who have proven themselves on the biggest stages in 2025-26.
