Tran said the wins against Smithson Valley and Alamo Heights gave the team a morale boost to take on the Raiders tonight. “I know we were not 100% confident in those games,” Tran said. “But, Rouse is a big opponent for sure. We’re definitely going into tonight with a lot of morale [because of the previous wins].”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/frances-tran.jpg)

Terry said his proudest moments are when his students are happy to see him. “When I take my wife to a football game or something and a bunch of students want to say hi to me or they like to smile and wave and it just makes me feel good that the students are really kind and supportive of me,” Terry said. “[I’m also] proud when I see students perform really well in their extracurriculars because I can see how hard they’re working in my classes, [so] when I see that they’re also working so hard in other things. Like they’re winning band competitions or they’re getting awards for their theater productions, or I see them put on their choir shows, that’s like, wow, you guys are incredible.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rags-6.png)

Having played since she was 5 years old, she is dedicated to softball and has committed to UTPB for softball. “When I got my offer it took me a very long time to decide where,” Robinson said. “Softball has always been my dream for college, and UTPB is my fit. When [I committed] I knew I was going to be loved and supported.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lilly-Adams-3.13aliviaedit-901.jpg)
After rumors of the cancellation of the annual junior-senior Powder Puff football game have circulated through the halls of Cedar Park, clarity has finally been reached. According to Student Council President Bailey Todd, Powder Puff is returning this year with a few changes.
In the past, Powder Puff has been a chance for juniors and seniors to take a break from the stress of school to engage in a fun, and always competitive, game of touch football. The game is normally coached by upperclassmen football players and played by upperclassmen girls, making the event somewhat of a comedy. The two classes are pitted against each other and each year the same question arises: Who will come out on top- the juniors or seniors?
After a very competitive game last year, the school has made some changes to the 2013 game. This year there will be a set of teacher coaches for each team, referees, and everyone participating will sign a behavioral contract. The upperclassmen football players will also be performing at halftime, a new addition to the Powder Puff festivities.
“We are trying to make it into a big family event,” Todd said.
The date and location of the 2013 Powder Puff game has not been verified, but one thing is for sure: it will be a night of hilarity and carefree football.
