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)

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)

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].”

![As senior Zane Claybrook catches the ball, the fans see the results of hours of practice and work. On and off the field, Claybrook has received help and motivation from people, along with all the work he put in. “Coach Hudson's always pushing me to be a better person, so that's helped [me become] better in football and better at life,” Claybrook said. “[My parents] made sure I got up when I needed to get up [and that] I wasn't late for anything. They’ve always pushed me to be the best person I could be.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/zanec.jpg)
From Austin to Odessa, from green and black to orange and blue, from high school to college. With all of these transitions coming up for senior Zane Claybrook, there is at least one thing staying the same: football.
Claybrook has been on the varsity football team since his sophomore year, and he will continue his journey in college, after signing with The University of Texas Permian Basin, UTPB.
“[I’ve played football] since I was in first grade,” Claybrook said. “My family already did football, and I just always enjoyed watching it, so I tried it out.”
Claybrook said he has had many opportunities to grow on and off the field.
“I’ve grown a lot, [and I’m] just more mature than I was freshman year,” Claybrook said. “I’ve grown as a person overall, [and during my time on the football team] I’ve made good friendships and bonds with all the people around me. Even the underclassmen, I got to know them, [and I] got to know a lot more people.
Because of the strong relationships he has built, Claybrook said he has a lot he will be leaving behind once he leaves for college.
“[I will] definitely [miss] my friends [the most],” Claybrook said. “I’m going to college in Odessa so it’s going to be far, [and] I’m going to miss my friends.”
Although he will miss several things, Claybrook said he is looking forward to many opportunities and experiences at UTPB.
“[It felt] pretty good [when I found out I would be playing for UTPB],” Claybrook said. “I always knew I was going to play, but finding a home was a relief. They have a great football program [and] a great environment for me to grow [in]. They have a great community, [and I want to] make an impact there.”
Looking back on how far he has come, Claybrook said he has many people to thank for helping him along the way.
“Coach Hudson’s always pushing me to be a better person, so that’s helped [me become] better in football and better at life,” Claybrook said. “[My parents] made sure I got up when I needed to get up [and that] I wasn’t late for anything. They’ve always pushed me to be the best person I could be.”
