VYPE's Roll Call

Players of the Week

Shernise Robertson, Sadalia Ellis, Loryn Goodwin and Carol Willie, Cy Falls Basketball

After trying for three seasons, the Cy Falls seniors reached their ultimate goal of getting to the state tournament in Austin. While coach Jim Stephens employs a deep bench, these were the playmakers for the Eagles. They knocked off 2011 region champs Elsik 59-52 and will head to Austin with hopes of winning it all. Cy Fair was the last Houston team to win the Class 5A state championship.

The Nevitt Sisters, Dekaney Basketball

It's been the year of the Wildcat in 2011-12 as the Dekaney boys won the state championship in football and the girls basketball team is two wins away from their own hardware. Led by sister Kayla and Shunta Nevitt, Dekaney knocked off Sachse HS to reach the state tourney. The 39-1 Wildcats are also paced by Alexis Durley, Tiara Hornsby, Brianna Taylor and Jaleesa Chapel. All big-time talents.
