![Musical theatre class runs through “Footloose” during their dress rehearsal. Senior student director Mia Morneault says how much she’s enjoyed working with the cast and crew. “I am very proud of all the cast and crew who worked as hard on it as I have. A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)
![Broadcast, yearbook and newspaper combined for 66 Interscholastic League Press Conference awards this year. Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

The varsity baseball team played in the bi-district round of playoffs against the Boerne Greyhounds April 30-May 2, where they won Game 1 6-4, lost Game 2 2-1 and won the last game 5-2, allowing them to advance to area. “Honestly, [my favorite] big moment that wasn't even part of my moment was Dom's grand slam,” Cuevas said. “That was a big game changer in Game 1 of round one that ultimately helped us win that game and even move on. It set the tone for the games after and has really impacted and sparked this whole playoff run.” Photo by Allie Tseng](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/allie-boerne00159-1200x800.jpg)
![After he takes the handoff, senior running back Trae Hill runs down the field in search of a first down. Hill rushed for three touchdowns in the 43-36 loss against Frisco Wakeland last Friday, but the Timberwolves were eliminated from playoff contention. “[I’m] just happy I got to experience the game with my brothers,” Hill said. “I’m going to remember how close and how enjoyable everything was with these guys. They are my brothers for life. Just waking up and grinding together, and proving the naysayers wrong [was my favorite part].”

Despite the downpour, the Timberwolves (3-2) pulled out a 14-10 victory against the Leander Lions (4-1) on Friday, Sept. 28 at Gupton Stadium.
The first T-wolf touchdown was scored by senior tailback Mikal Wilson.
“Execution is everything,” Wilson said. “I hit the holes and read my keys. I had a great blocking down front from my offensive line.”
Junior quarterback Nate Grimm completed a pass to senior running back Ethan Fry for a second touchdown. Fry’s successful two-point conversion put more T-wolf points on the scoreboard.
The rain proved to be in the Black Rain defense’s favor. Leander senior Caleb Woodward, a Texas Tech commit, was continually stopped by the powerhouse that is the Cedar Park defensive line.
Cedar Park has moved up to the No. 17 position on the AP poll of 4A teams, while Leander dropped from the No. 2 position to the No. 9 position.
Crosstown Showdown was anticipated to be a close game due to the two highly-ranked rival teams.
“I was motivated to play this week because of the doubts about our ability to win,” Wilson said. “I came back from an injury and was ready to go all-out.”
The CP band also braved the elements for the good of the team with a shortened half-time show. The Leander band did not perform due to predicted heavy rain in the area.
The fans did not disappoint. Without the band playing their signature Metal Shop, fans supplemented with spirit of their own. Dressed in black from head to toe for the traditional Blackout game, the vocal fans sang their own version of Metal Shop during halftime.
This Friday’s game will be held at Marble Falls at 7:30 p.m. For those who cannot attend, K-MAC will broadcast the game.
