CY-RANCH PITCHING DUO CHOSEN AMONG TOP 45 PICKS IN 2019 MLB DRAFT Cypress Ranch High School senior pitchers J.J. Goss and Matthew Thompson led the CFISD contingent selected in the 2019 Major League Baseball First- Year Player draft, as the two right-handed pitchers became the highest teammates picked since 2002. Both Goss and Thompson were selected on the first day of the draft. Goss went 36th overall by the Tampa Bay Rays, while Thompson was picked 45th overall by the Chicago White Sox. The duo helped lead Cypress Ranch to the Region II-6A finals a year after the Mustangs reached their third state tournament in program history. Goss finished his season 11-2 with a 0.64 ERA, 146 strikeouts to just 28 walks and three complete games. Thompson went 13-0 with a 0.87 ERA, 124 strikeouts, 41 walks and two complete games. They become the first teammates selected this high in the draft since 2002, when Cypress Falls High School graduates and standout pitchers Clint Everts and Scott Kazmir went fifth and 15th overall, respectively. Fellow teammate of Goss and Thompson, Cypress Ranch High School catcher Jared Alvarez-Lopez was also picked as the 503rd overall pick (17th round) by the San Diego Padres. MLB organizations and drafted players other than those who have exhausted their college eligibility have until July 15th to reach an agreement on contractual terms. Drafted high school graduates that don’t sign and attend four-year colleges aren’t eligible to be drafted again until after their junior year or they are at least 21 years old.

BRIDGELAND AP CLASS PARTNERS WITH STUDENTS IN LIFE SKILLS PROGRAM Bridgeland High School AP Chemistry students created and peer taught practical and relevant science experiments to classmates in the school’s Life Skills program on May 21st. Dr. Elizabeth Braun’s AP Chemistry students constructed 15 different experiments for Emily Posch’s Life Skills classes, ranging from learning about static electricity to making lava lamps in beakers using oil and water.

The partnership between Dr. Braun’s class and Posch’s class started last year, when Dr. Braun invited some of Posch’s students into her integrated physics and chemistry class to do a few experiments. When Dr. Braun learned she would be teaching AP Chemistry this year, she immediately knew she wanted to partner with Posch’s class again.
