Private School Playmakers presented by Texas Citizens Bank

Joshua Koch
Apr 03, 2020

There are so many great athletes in the private school realm in Houston.

VYPE highlights five athletes or teams from across the private school ranks in this edition of Private School Playmakers Powered by Texas Citizens Bank.


Caleb Ceaser (@caleb_ceasar) | Rosehill Christian

Rosehill Christian played for a state championship a few weeks ago and one of the key pieces was Caleb Ceasar. The senior averaged 22 points and eight rebounds per game. Ceasar is still looking for a place to play at the next level. He shot 44 percent from the field and 37 percent from beyond the arch. Ceasar has a 4.13 GPA and a score of 30 on his ACT and an 11170 on his SAT.

​Derrick Brown III (@DerrickBrown_3) | St. Pius X

Derrick Brown was a big factor on the St. Pius X men's basketball team. Brown is a 5-foot-11 point guard, who averaged 25.6 points and 7 assists per game this past season. He owns a 3.5 GPA and scored a 20 on the ACT. He was named first-team, all-district and was an all-state honorable mention selection. His biggest game of the season came against Houston Christian where he scored 32 points.

Clark Douglas | The John Cooper School

Committed 💣🔵 @BomberSports @JCS_Baseball88 @JCS_Athletics pic.twitter.com/jmtdAJefzA

— Clark Douglas (@clarkdouglas10) March 28, 2020

Clark Douglas recently verbally committed to Ithaca College and VYPE caught up with him.

VYPE: What made Ithaca college the place for you?

Douglas: Both Ithaca's strong academics along with the opportunity to hopefully build on their storied athletic program were two major factors for me. They have beautiful facilities and a great new coaching staff I'm looking forward to working with.

VYPE: How exciting is it that you will get to continue to play at the next level?

Douglas: It's a dream come true to play baseball at the next level. Dealing with injuries and other obstacles I've faced has made this a long and difficult journey for me, and that just makes this moment even more special.

VYPE: What has the John Cooper School meant to you?

Douglas: The John Cooper school has meant a lot to me over the past 3 years. Moving from the Middle East sophomore year was a difficult transition for my brother and I, but was made a lot easier by all the great people at cooper. I'm very grateful for coach Mike and the many others at the school who have helped me along this journey.

BUILDING BLOCKS: Seven Lakes' State aspirations lean heavily on Santos' evolving ingenuity

Seven Lakes Jr. G/F Isaiah Santos

Matt Powell (VYPE)

Basketball, for some, is about talent alone. For others, it's process -- a careful assembly of skills, habits, and leadership over time.

At Seven Lakes, that process has been on full display in the 6-foot-5 junior, Isaiah Santos, a guard who has spent the past few seasons constructing a versatile skillset while helping elevate his team’s consistent presence.
