Next year I can take six AP courses, and have the potential senior year to take seven. Should I do it? I'll do it either way, so don't try to dissuade me. I just want facts. If you want to know about my academic background, just ask.

Yes! I have taken 11 AP course throughout High School. I didn't find it particularly stressful and I have an LOA+Nom to West Point now. I say go for it.
If you haven't started playing sports by sophomore year, you would need to pick up a sport that is not way too technique based, and wouldn't require too much specialization. Does you school have a crew/rowing team? The majority of rowers at my school didn't start until high school, and several are going D1. This can be a great spring sport that doesn't require as much specialization/experience as Lacrosse and Baseball/Softball. Another great option is track, since the only techniques needed are basic running or jumping form and the will to work hard. If running is your thing you can always to cross country in the fall. Much like crew and track, it can be picked up easily, as long as you are willing to work hard.
It shouldn't hurt your application if you aren't the captain, but it will help it if you are the captain.Thanks for the answer. Does the Academy look upon not being a team captain negatively, or does thee admission board see it as something you just didn't do?
Have you considered joining Sea Cadets? (Or Civil Air Patrol or JROTC). Three of my kids are in Sea Cadets. It's a great program, will give you a glimpse into military life and has a lot of leadership opportunities.Here's another thing: sports. I don't play sports, but I need to. So what sport do you suggest I pick up? I am a sophomore.
