INSIDE PITCH: VYPE Baseball Rankings, No. 17 Cy Ranch Mustangs
No. 17--Cypress Ranch Mustangs Baseball
2022: 24-8-2 (District 16-6A Champions/Area Round Finalist)
HC: Corey Cephus
In a division that included another Top 15 selection (Cy Woods), the 2022 Mustangs thrived in the face of competition, sporting a flashy 13-1 district record to cruise to a district title.
Coach Corey Cephus and company will see that nothing changes when the May playoff deadline rolls around. Returning upperclassmen – first-team, all-district senior OF Jackson Priest, alongside junior second-team honorees SS Tobias Motley (Rice-commit) and 1B/DH Cole Truitt – will look to provide some experience on a youthful Cy Ranch team.
Once the regular season is in full swing, these Mustangs will mean business. Their goal? Add another State Championship next to the two in their trophy case (2012, 2015).

No. 19--Cypress Ranch Softball
2022: 25-15 (Regional Semifinalists)
HC: Sarah Mueller
Cypress Ranch brings back eight starters off a squad that reached the Regional Semifinals a year ago.
Sarah Mueller enters her 12th season leading the ‘Stangs and will get coaching victory No. 250 of her career this season. Tori Sossaman will be the ace in the circle as she returns after posting a 1.54 ERA and 92 strikeouts a year ago.
UT-Arlington-commit Vanessa Soza will be one of the big bats back after hitting .405, slugged .479 and stole 24 bases last season. Other key returnersinclude Aly Greenlund (Briar Cliff University), Emily Landry (LouisianaChristian University), Amarisa Garza (University of Dallas), Caitlin Stowe (University of Wisconsin-Stout), Ashlynn Massey and Mia Diaz.
The motto for Mueller’s group in 2023 is “All Out” and her group will have to “play solid defense, find ways to get on base and continue strong teamchemistry” to reach their ultimate goals.
