![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)

"I feel like it’s not really appreciated in America as much, but [tennis] is a really competitive and mentally challenging sport,” Nguyen said. “I’m really level-headed and can keep my cool during a match, and that helps me play a bit better under pressure.” Photo by Kyra Cox](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hasun.jpg)

Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

Timberwolf Musician Recognized at Regional UIL
Eunice Lee, next to Principal John Sloan, has recently been recognized as an outstanding performer. “Competition was a cool experience,” Lee said. Lee won a gold medal at the Texas State Piano Contest.
October 10, 2014
Eunice Lee recently received the outstanding performer recognition from competing at The Texas State Solo-Ensemble Piano Solo Contest. The competition is a regional UIL contest consisting of 95,000 students who participated in the UIL music contest and 24,000 musicians who performed at the contest.
“This is my first year competing UIL,” sophomore Eunice Lee said. “It was a really good experience.”
This year, the contest took place in May. Out of all the students and performers, 269 students received the honor of being recognized as an outstanding performer.
“UIL competition is not more difficult than competitions that are not UIL, it’s about the same,” Lee said.
Lee is one of the students to receive the recognition as a pianist. As a pianist, Lee enjoys competition more than performing, but performing is still enjoyable for her.
“Performing is fun, but I enjoy competing more because of the adrenaline,” Lee said. “Competition offers more of a challenge. I still really like performing because it allows me to share music with other people.”
When she’s not competing, Lee runs an organization she created called Music Eunited, giving underprivileged and disabled kids, grades first through fifth, piano lessons.
“It’s still a work in progress but I’m looking forward to being able to enhance the community,” Lee said.
