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)

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].”

The varsity football team prevailed over the Chaparral Bobcats, 57-14, on Thursday night in the first game of district play.
“I thought we did great,” senior running back Trae Hill said. “We fought to the nail.”
Cedar Park started off strong with two touchdowns and a field goal in the first quarter. By midway through the second quarter, they had scored 23 unanswered points.
The Bobcats responded with a touchdown, the first of two in the game, then failed to convert on a two-point attempt, before Cedar Park scored a field goal to end the half.
“We played hard in the first half,” head football coach Michael Quintero said. “There’s a lot of mistakes that have to be corrected [though]. I thought we had a better second half.”
The Timberwolves scored 31 points in the second half, while Chaparral scored 7. The victory was anchored by a strong defensive performance, with three interceptions and a fumble recovery.
“I thought we played physical,” Quintero said. “Our tackling was a lot better. [We] had that ‘bend but don’t break’ mentality.”
Senior linebacker Bennett Patton had two interceptions, tying the school record for interceptions in a game.
“I was just playing the game,” Patton said. “[I’m] going to go into next week, forget about it and stay humble.”
Sophomore defensive back CJ Rogers also intercepted a pass in the victory. It was his first interception playing on the varsity team.
“It felt great [to get an interception],” Rogers said. “I manifested it all week. I was like ‘I know I’m going to get one’, so when I saw it in the air, it was just a blessing.”
Other notable performances included Hill with 220 rushing yards and five touchdowns, junior quarterback David Cooper with 206 yards and 2 passing touchdowns and senior receiver Jamal Porter with 81 yards on six receptions and a touchdown.
The win was the team’s first home victory of the season, after losing to Harker Heights in the season opener and playing the next two games away from Gupton.
“It felt pretty good [to win at home],” Patton said. “We had a boost of energy.”
The win brought the Timberwolves to 2-2 on the season and 1-0 in district play, heading into next week’s win against Rouse.
“It’s just another game, another roadblock that we have to get over and through if we want a district championship,” Quintero said. “We just need to keep preparing like we are and keep moving forward.”
