Allen, Umeh, Toon headline All-VYPE private school team
The Greater Houston private school ranks were loaded with playmakers across the city.
Kinkaid and Houston Christian have the bragging rights as the only Space City teams to win their respective titles, but who were the real game-changers who propelled their teams all season?
Who can forget the performances turned in by super-athlete Cole Allen of St. John's and Wayne Shanks of Kinkaid or the punishing tackles of Obinna Umeh of St. Thomas?
Canon Toon of Second Baptist School was a human-highlight reel with his legs and arm.
