VYPE Campus In-Depth: John Cooper School's BJ Feuerhelm
HOUSTON - The John Cooper School just had a season for the books.
The women's basketball team went an impressive 15-2 overall and 7-1 in Southwest Preparatory Conference play, which was good enough to claim the 2020 SPC South Zone Championship.
The Dragons were led by seniors Aalyssa Rogers (13.3 ppg/ 9.1 apg), Ajailah Ogiemwonyi (17.4 ppg/9.9 rpg) and sophomore Jorynn Ross (16.2 ppg/14.1 rpg).
The season was historic and VYPE Media's Joshua Koch was joined by coach BJ Feurerhelm to talk in-depth about the season that will not be soon forgotten.

Coach B.J. Feuerhelm: What a great week for the Girls Basketball Program. To go on the road and get our first away win over Kinkaid* in program history is a big deal and these girls deserve all the credit! As we close in on the completion of our season, we look to take on a very talented Houston Christian team at home, followed by a trip to Austin to take on the always-tough St. Andrew's Highlanders.
