Smiling at the camera, the Varsity Tennis team celebrates winning districts. They played against Liberty Hill on Tuesday night and won with a final score of 10- 5. “We improved a lot even from the last game,” senior Blake Hillis said. “We lost against them the last time we played [Liberty Hill], but it was really close. It was just really important for us to win this match since it was the district finals. [When we won I felt] overwhelmingly happy, especially being there with my teammates and it being my senior year. It was just really great. It [felt] like a community.”

With their T-Wolves held high, the varsity volleyball team huddles together in preparation at a match in early September. The team is 6-0 in match play and will start the second round of district play next week. “The second time isn’t going to be easy,” Head Coach Lori McLaughlin said. “That's the thing about this district. The coaches are so good and very skilled with what they do and every team is usually different the second time that we play. We just want to hope that we add some more finesse to our game, and then lead us into the postseason, which hopefully [has us] peaking at the right time.”

Holding up their T-Wolves, varsity football players smile for the camera at Taco Palenque. Last night, the O-Line position group was interviewed during Timberwolf Night in America, a weekly broadcast that features different aspects of the team and is hosted by Josh Willard and Brad Cone. “Timberwolf Night in America is an opportunity for us to learn about who the players are, because the team changes every year,” Willard said. “It's a chance to ask what they are looking to accomplish this week. We’ll go over the last game, preview this week's matchup, and talk about the record book. It's just fun talking about Timberwolf football.”

Smiling during the annual Decals with Dads, varsity starting quarterback and sophomore David Cooper and his dad Jim Cooper pose for a picture. During this varsity event, players and their dads get together to put new decals on their helmets. This year, in addition to being announced QB 1, David was also voted as one of six captains on the varsity team, a role that he had difficulty adjusting to as a younger player on varsity. “It was a struggle for me, being younger than everyone else and being a leader,” David said. “I wondered if [the team] would respect me, or if they would just see me as a younger person from a younger class. I think I've become a leader, [though] and let people know that even though I'm younger, I'm still going to lead them well.” Photo courtesy of Cedar Park Football SmugMug.

Following through, senior Kade Davis throws a pitch in the game against Lockhart on March 26. Davis threw the first no hitter in Timberwolf Baseball history that night as the team won 15-0. “I was pumped, our team was pumped, everybody was happy, and we were winning the ball game,” Davis said. ““During the game I tried not to think about it because you're not supposed to think about a no hitter while you're still in the game or you could jinx it. I was just worried about winning the game, I didn’t care so much about the no hitter during the game, I just wanted to win.” Photo by Jim Cowlishaw

The win moved them on to the Regional Quarterfinals to play Rouse on May 16 and 17, with a third game Saturday if necessary.  “Obviously the third round curse has been around for a couple of years now,” freshman Hudson Cuevas said. “Hopefully we change that this year and beat them. We just need to get it out of our head that it’s a curse and hopefully make it to the fourth round.”

Ismail was awarded Newcomer of the Year, which is given to a  new varsity player across the district who is a  standout. “In my first ever varsity game, I was nervous about a lot of things, the biggest was if I was going to be able to make shots in the game,” Ismail said. “I remember being nervous up until I made my first shot and then from there I felt really comfortable and confident out on the floor.”
