The South Houston area is loaded with talented athletes, who give it their all on their respective fields of play.
Welcome to the VYPE Playmakers, powered by UTMB Health, where we highlight five standouts who are at the epicenter of college football recruiting. Here are the UTMB Athletes of the Month.
Braylan Shelby, Friendswood, Football
Braylan Shelby earned a first-team, all-district nod for his play as a senior at outside linebacker. The 6-foot-4 super-athlete will head west this summer as he will enroll at USC to play for Lincoln Riley. Shelby can run in space and cover running backs out of the backfield. He can also grow into a defensive end a the college level.
Serigne Tounkara, Clear Springs, Football
Anchoring the defense for Clear Springs this season was first-team, all-district selection Serigne Tounkara. The Missouri-commit combines 6-foot-3 size with tremendous athleticism and explosiveness. Tounkara was also a leader in the locker room and is solid in the classroom.
Demari Maxson, Clear Lake, Football
The Class of 2024 safety is a big-time star in the making at Clear Lake. The 6-foot-1, heat-seeking missile is elite in run support. Maxson is only getting better as he will run track and have a big 7-on-7 year in the offseason. He was most recently offered by the University of Tennessee.
Xai’Shaun Edwards, Clear Springs, Football
Edwards was a unanimous first-teamer as a junior this year with his explosive running style. Edwards holds offers from Oregon, Missouri and Texas Tech and will have a huge spring recruiting season. His versatility and ability to block makes him a can’t-miss DI prospect.
Rodney Bimage, Dickinson, Football
Dickinson has put a ton of talent into the college football ranks. The next big Gator is Rodney Bimage, who was an all-district selection on the football field and a Regional qualifier in track in the long jump. The junior has over a dozen offers with the likes of Georgia, TCU and Texas to name a few.

As we head into Christmas break we release our last rankings of the year, how do things stack up as district starts for some districts as we head into the home stretch of the basketball season? Check in below to find out.
**Records obtained from MaxPreps unless otherwise noted
**Games already played have been noted but not taken into account for the rankings
BOYS BASKETBALL RANKINGS
5A-6A: Not a lot has changed for the most part at the top, except Westlake is now at number 2 in the rankings after their win over Lake Travis who is now at 5. Will be interesting to see their trajectory now that football season is over and to see if Stony Point can stay at number 1 and if so for how long. And don't sleep on San Marcos, a team I am high on.
1A-4A: Not much has changed here, except moving Cole from 3 to 5. People may scratch their head at the 5 spot for Cole who is 7-10, but do us a favor and go look at their non-district schedule. This team is playing some 6A and 5A schools that will set them up come playoffs and beyond.
Private School: Central Catholic still stays at 1 and is looking great to start the season with Antonina Prep on their heels. Brentwood and St. Michael's are the 2 teams to watch in Austin as we head into 2023.
GIRLS BASKETBALL RANKINGS
5A-6A: Clark is the team to beat still though teams like Hays, Brennan and Harlan you should keep your eyes on as we move into 2023. I'll be watching the rematch between Brennan and Harlan later in the year.
1A-4A: Fredericksburg and Boerne are on a collision course for their January 13th district matchup. Oh and let's not forget Navarro. They lost to Fredericksburg last week and will be looking for some revenge later in the season.
Private School: Antonian Prep sits at the top with St. Mary's Hall on their tail.
