![Musical theatre class runs through “Footloose” during their dress rehearsal. 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].”

The Timberwolf varsity football team broke records and San Antonio Brennan 32-7 on Friday, Dec. 7 at the Alamodome. The team, one step closer to the Class 4A state championship game, made school history by making it to semifinals in playoffs.
The T-wolves also proved their ability to beat the unbeatable, tainting Brennan’s undefeated record with their first loss of the season.
“Each team is just another team to beat,” junior Sam Brock said.
Experience proved to be a defining factor between the two teams. This season marked Cedar Park’s third consecutive placement quarterfinals and Brennan’s third varsity season.
“At this point, everything is motivation for us,” Brock said. “Each time we practice harder, we improve as a team.”
The last two years, Cedar Park has seen their season come to a close with a loss against Lake Travis at this point in playoffs. Lake Travis moved to 5A this season.
“We’ve been working so hard this year,” junior Peter Manekis said. “We went into the season expecting to make it to state.”
With progressive games, the venues increase in size and support. Nearly 8,000 combined fans in attendance shouted and supported their teams.
“Bigger stadiums mean more excitement,” Brock said.
As the game came to a close, fans could be heard chanting “history” in celebration of the new feat.
“We made history,” junior Lane Waller said. “Having a good game is one thing, but making an impact as big as school history is monumental.”
If Saturday’s 4A Division II semifinal against Manor goes as planned for the T-wolves, the team will see their opportunity to win their first ever state title for Cedar Park.
