November 6, 2015
The CP girls and boys basketball teams both went far last season, with the boys making it to state semifinals and the girls making it to the third round of play-offs. This year both teams hope to go farther, and the girls have changed their approach to better fit the many new team members and play to the strengths of the new team, according to senior small forward for the varsity team, Jennifer Stallings.
“We’ve had to change a lot this season because a lot of the seniors that graduated were really key to the system we were running,” Stallings said. “We’ve implemented a lot of new plays and changed up some old ones, so that the style we play is better suited to the players we have now. Personally, I have tried to become more of a leader on the court this year, and I’m trying to play more aggressive and score more to help out the team and provide energy when we need it.”
Senior Davis Brock, who plays for the boys varsity team, has changed up his personal training program and his strategy on the court.
“I’ve been training a lot more on my own, doing some personal workouts with some of my club coaches, as well as spending a little extra time after practice at school,” Brock said. “My approach to this season is very different. I’m more of a leader on the team, I’ve taken on more responsibility and tried to really work harder and set an example for the younger guys. As a team, we’ve had to adjust our strategy a bit because we lost so many seniors that were very influential to our team. We have some younger guys now as well as a few players totally new to Cedar Park and our program. So, we are finding the right way to put everyone in a position where they can use their strengths and make the team the best it can be. I’m very excited for our first game. I’m ready to play.”
Senior small forward, Connor Lowe, has also intensified his training regime and is excited for the first game.
“I’ve been putting in a lot of work in the gym both in and out of school, also I have gone to Houston to work with one of my coaches,” Lowe said. “I’m trying to be more of a leader on the team and give it everything I have this year because it’s my last year. I am excited for our first game and feel that we are prepared and are going to do well.”
Both teams have several scrimmages and games coming up and are preparing every day, and junior point guard Aubrey McCarty is confident that their training will pay off.
“We practice for hours and hours a day, so that we are very prepared for the season. We’re running new offenses to show our strengths as a team,” McCarty said. “We are all very excited for the first game. We have been preparing and we are all confident going into this game. I think it’s going to be very successful.”
The boys first game is a varsity scrimmage on Nov. 11 at Pflugerville High School at 5:30 p.m. The girls second scrimmage against Killeen and Westlake at home on Nov. 7. Their first game is against Pflugerville at 7:00 p.m. in the Pflugerville gym on Nov. 10.

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)
















![After he takes the handoff, senior running back Trae Hill runs down the field in search of a first down. 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].”
