![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 (6-2, 4-0) secured their place in playoffs last Friday night in a 20-12 win against Vandegrift (4-5, 2-3) at Ed Monroe Memorial Stadium.
The 20-12 victory was a closer match than usual for the Timberwolves, who saw an 8-point lead in contrast to their average of 17.
Despite the dwindling lead, the Timberwolves clinched a playoff berth. The offense has proven their lead against the rest of the District 25 4-A teams with a four-win streak.
“We were supposed to make it to playoffs,” senior Roger Welch said. “And we have.”
Junior quarterback Nathan Grimm shattered the second school record in a row, completing 12 of 16 passes for 173 yards and three touchdowns.
In the last two games, junior Samuel Brock has established a Timberwolf advantage for deep passing. Brock, who caught an 80-yard touchdown last week for the longest pass in school history, received a 64-yard pass from Grimm for a touchdown in the first half.
Brock attributes accomplishments on the field to progress in practice.
“We condition a lot, so we always have energy on the field,” Brock said. “Touchdowns get me excited for the next game.”
Senior Nathan Harwell caught a 33-yard pass in the second half to bring the Timberwolves to a 14-3 lead.
Another pass from Grimm to senior Ethan Fry established the Timberwolves’ last of the 20 points, but the Vipers blocked the extra point and returned it 96 yards for two points.
T-shirts sold this week boasted whiteout conditions mixed with black rain, which is just what the defense delivered.
Junior Sean Angle caught an interception at the 42-yard line after Cedar Park was forced to punt with two timeouts remaining.
“Defense played as a team,” Angle said. “All did our part to shut them down.”
In their blackout game, the Vipers were stopped by Black Rain defense from all sides. They completed their lone touchdown in the fourth quarter with a halfback-pass from quarterback Jamie Hudson to Dylan Hosek.
Cedar Park continues in district play as they face Vista Ridge (7-1, 3-1) this Friday at Gupton Stadium.
