“There’s been times [when] there’s so much clothing stored here and it gets overwhelming, so I end up having to sleep somewhere else in the house,” Mckinney said.](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/DSC_0951-1200x800.jpg)

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)

Roll With It
I-CE-NY shop opens at Lakeline Mall
The piña colada ice cream is one of many unique flavors at I-CE-NY in Lakeline Mall.
March 22, 2019
When entering the food court of Lakeline Mall, one will now not only smell the fast food stands or the movie theater popcorn but they will also hear the clacking of metal against metal.
After months of preparation, I-CE-NY Austin opened its doors on March 2 at Lakeline Mall next to Auntie Anne’s and Lids on the upper level. The I-CE-NY franchise began in Thailand under the name “I-TIM-PAD” and was later introduced to the United States in New York where they opened a shop under the new name, “I-CE-NY.”
The shop specializes in rolled ice cream with unique flavors and twists. Ice cream ranges from signature flavors like Mango Sticky RI-CE, Strawberry Cheese-CE-cake, Matcha Mania, Fruity Pebbles and they even offer the option to create a flavor.
Owner of the Lakeline Mall I-CE-NY location, Alex, said that the opening was a challenge as they faced several problems while in the construction and demolition process.
“Delays and extra repairs pushed us further and further back,” Alex said. “Rather than stressing over the problems, it was key for us to push forward and overcome all of the issues. We took a long time to get here, but we are here now and making the best of it.”
During the opening weekend, an estimated 400 people showed up. Alex said that his favorite part of the opening was interacting with customers and listening to them say how they were expecting the opening and were excited to try the ice cream.
“Seeing their faces light up after their first bite reminds me that all of this hard work was worth it,” Alex said.
The grand opening is expected to occur this Saturday. For more details, discounts and giveaways visit the I-CE-NY Instagram page.
More information about I-CE-NY:
-Ice cream roll cups are priced at $6.25.
-Vegan and dairy free options are available.

The event has been held for the past two years and is designed to raise money for the baseball program in a fun way. “We’re a baseball team, so people love to compete,” Cuevas said. “So we figured we better do something that gets [their] attention. They want to compete. It’s not a hard sport to do, and we have all different [skill] levels [of participants].” Photo by Henry Mueller](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Henry-715-1200x900.jpg)
