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.

The stars of 2024-25 Hitchcock Basketball
READY TO REIGN: No. 5 Hitchcock on a mission to make it three straight in Class 3A
5 -- HITCHCOCK BULLDOGS
The Hitchcock Bulldogs have arguably been the best team in the city of Houston the past two seasons, winning back-to-back Class 3A State Championships.
Coach Christopher Jordan-Foster has assembled a historic program since this class have been freshmen.
“It’s all about a three-peat,” coach Jordan-Foster said. “Defense is what we hang our hat on along with team chemistry. They are seniors now and we knew in the sixth grade that they would be special. They have certainly been special. We want to finish this thing off, so we are just focused on getting back there to the State game and seeing how it goes.”
Back in the huddle are Elijah Sherwood, Maleek Clark, Kamari McNeal and Ta’Maury Murray to lead the way.
Can they win one more?
With Kelshaun Johnson and Lloyd Jones out of the lineup, it will be a challenge.
