With a 29-4 win record already and the district tournament fast approaching, varsity volleyball is well on their way to a spot in the state tournament on Nov. 22.
For juniors Courtnee Curl and Dana Teets the most difficult part of possibly winning the state tournament is going to be getting through district.
“All the teams are going to be after us because we went to the state tournament [last year],” Teets said.
This year, the team is focused on working hard and building a support system.
“We have to keep pushing ourselves harder than we have before,” Teets said.Besides putting in the hours every day at 7:00 a.m. and after school until 6:00 p.m, they also focus on building a strong emotional bond with weekly team dinners and team bonding activities. For every home game, each pair of “Home Game Sisters” give each other little gifts at the end of the match.
For Curl, the small team has enabled them to become a lot closer.
“The smaller team makes us more like a family,” Curl said.
Senior Hailey Roberts thinks the family dynamic will propel the Lady T-Wolves this season.
“We are excited about this year because we are really close,” Roberts said.
After a loss to Dripping Springs, they’ve won their past three games, including a three-set sweep against Rouse on Sep. 24. Curl is confident that she and the rest of her team will be able to get to state if they stay on track.
“The losses we’ve had are preventable and we can make up for them,” Curl said.
The Lady Timberwolves next game is against Leander at LHS for the “Burger Bash” on Sep. 27 at 6:30 p.m.

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].”
