All-VYPE DFW Volleyball Teams: Queens of the Court

Click to view image

The VYPE DFW area has a reputation for being one of the nation’s top regions for producing high school talent. Another wave of college recruits and nationally ranked players left their mark on the 2011 season, including placing four teams in UIL state finals and bringing home two championships.

VYPE DFW’s staff and contributors including LoneStarVolleyball.com editor Scott White put their heads together to select this year’s All-VYPE teams for each of our three regions.

We also selected three Staff Most Valuable Players, while allowing our readership to voice its opinions by voting for three Readers’ Choice Most Valuable Players on our VYPEDFW.com polls.

No doubt you’ve checked out the six MVPs on our covers. Here are the rest of our 2011 All-VYPE Volleyball Teams.

Can we have the envelope please?
