Top 10 Reasons We Love CPFB
December 1, 2016
10. Winning. It sure is nice to leave the last 28 of 29 games with a win!

9. Drumline- The whole stadium is up and on their feet, yelling and singing along to the drumline’s classic: “Metal Shop.”

8. The respect the football players have for their country and community is shown with their hands on their hearts and their eyes locked on the American flag during the National Anthem.

7. Students holding their breath waiting for a Timberwolf to crash through one of the cheerleader’s creative bust outs and stampede onto the field with the hammer.

6. The unintentional new best friend we make when CP makes a touchdown. In that one moment, we bond with someone that we may have never talked to, but will lose our voices with while cheering on our favorite team.

5. Watching the nationally ranked band and our favorite Celebrities perform at halftime keeps the student section alive as we head into the last half of the game.

4. Banging on trash cans, throwing up flour and singing “We Believe that We Will Win” are just a few of the things that contribute to the hype of the game.

3. The offense bulldozing their way down the field.


2. Black rain pitching six shutouts this year.

1. The team brings the school together because it showcases so many different talents- football, sports med, band, Celebrities, cheer, choir and journalism.

“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)

![Bringing her arm over her head and taking a quick breath, junior Lauren Lucas swims the final laps of the 500 freestyle at the regionals swimming competition on date. 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)

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)
