SPLASH HIRE: John Cooper names UH assistant McColskey as volleyball program director
That’s a big-time hire in The Woodlands.
The John Cooper School has tapped Taylor McColskey to lead its volleyball program — and this one turns heads.
Why? McColskey brings serious college pedigree, with coaching stops at the University of Houston, Mississippi State, and Georgia Tech. Now, he’s taking that experience to an emerging SPC contender.
That’s a big deal for the Dragons.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with McColskey as he gets set to elevate John Cooper into a force on the Texas private school scene.

THE CINDERELLAS: Cy Ridge softball taking fanbase for a historic ride
Everyone loves a great story, right? A Cinderella story.
And right now, there may be no bigger Cinderella in Houston than the Cypress Ridge softball team.
The Rams had never reached the playoffs — not once since the school opened. Now, they find themselves in the third round, facing perennial powerhouse Pearland.
Under Coach Paige Hasselbring and her “Row the Boat” mantra, this scrappy squad has surged to a second-place district finish and beyond. Led by senior Ariel Arambula and freshman standout Kayla Ortega, Cypress Ridge has become the talk of the hallways.
The student body is all in. The community is all in. And honestly… why not?
Because everyone loves a Cinderella story — especially when it’s still being written.
Go inside the Ram program on the eve of their third round playoff series with VYPE’s Matt Malatesta and Alex Hinson.
