Zack Wheeler graduated from East Paulding High School in 2009. He was drafted by
the San Francisco Giants with the 6th overall pick in the
2009 Major League Baseball draft. Wheeler was traded in
2011 to the New York Mets, where he is currently a
starting pitcher. He made his major league debut in a
doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves on June 18,
2013 in Atlanta.
As a way of recognizing Wheelers tremendous success
in the major leagues, East Paulding High School retired
his Raiders baseball jersey at a ceremony on Saturday,
January 17th. No one at East Paulding High School will
ever wear #45 again.
While at East Paulding High School, Wheeler played both baseball and basketball. In
four varsity seasons, Wheeler compiled a 95-36 record. In 2008, his junior year, he went 8-3 with a 1.31
ERA and 127 strikeouts over 64 1/3 innings and was
named AAAA Region Pitcher of the Year. In 2009, his
senior year, Wheeler pitched in 13 games and finished
9-0 with a 0.54 ERA and 151 strikeouts in 77 2/3 innings. That year he was named the 2009 Gatorade
High School Player of the Year for Georgia.
Congratulations, Zack!

One of the key changes youll find in the redesigned SAT is that it will focus on relevant words, the
meanings of which depend on how theyre used. Students will be asked to interpret the meaning of
words based on the context of the passage in which they appear.
Heres a sample question:
[] The coming decades will likely see more intense clustering of jobs, innovation, and productivity
in a smaller number of bigger cities and city-regions. Some regions could end up bloated beyond
the capacity of their infrastructure, while others struggle, their promise stymied by inadequate
human or other resources.
1. File Early
Go ahead and file now. Some schools make awards
on a first-come, first-served basis until their funds
are depleted. You can estimate your 2014 tax liability using your last paystub.
This question asks students to analyze how the word intense is used in context. While students may
frequently use the word intense to describe personalities or emotions, the context of this sentence
requires students to recognize that intense can also mean concentrated. The best answer is B
because the context makes clear that the clustering of jobs, innovation and productivity is expected to
be denser, or more concentrated in a smaller number of bigger cities and city-regions, over the coming decades.
Stay tuned to more sample questions from the redesigned SAT throughout 2015.
