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.

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.

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.

OILER PRIDE: Pearland Looking To Make It Back To State

Matthew Ogle
14 Mar, 2025

After reaching the State Tournament for the second consecutive year – and the seventh time overall – the Pearland Oilers fell just short of claiming their first title since 1980, losing 4-1 to Tomball in Round Rock last spring. With valuable experience gained, this year is about seizing that opportunity.

Coach David Rogers enters his sixth year at the helm, relying on a talented core to reach their goal. Texas A&M-commit Nico Partida is back for his final year in the high school spotlight, after earning District 23-6A MVP and UIL-6A All-Tournament honors a year ago. In addition to his impeccable play on defense and at-bat (.414 BA, 7 HR, 41 RBI), Partida can just as easily make an impact when pitching (5-0), alongside junior Grant Shepherd.

THE BOBCATS: Cy Fair Coming Off 2024 Regional Final Appearance

Matthew Ogle
14 Mar, 2025

Under the guidance of eighth-year head coach Billy Hardin (197 wins), the Cy-Fair Bobcats are coming off a strong 2024 campaign, highlighted by a District 17-6A title and an impressive run to the Regional Final for the first time since 2018.

The Bobcats’ postseason push was halted by eventual State Finalist Pearland in a tight Game 3, further highlighting the team’s growing reputation as a serious contender.

THE MUSTANGS: Memorial Loaded Roster Ready For State Run

Matthew Ogle
14 Mar, 2025

While their 26-14-2 record last season showcases a strong campaign, Memorial’s true potential was revealed in the playoffs. Advancing four rounds deep into the 2024 postseason, the Jeremy York-led Mustangs reached heights that no previous team in recent memory had attained.

What makes this even more exciting is the fact that the majority of the roster from that playoff run returns for the upcoming season. Key contributors will include first-team, all-district selections Will Van Wie (Houston commit), Jake Earnest (Baylor commit), and Jackson Castillo (Sr. DH/C), all of whom will play pivotal roles in the batting order.
