Screams float through the air as hugs and celebrations take over the field. The gold ball trophy comes out and the girls take a sigh of relief as another soccer powerhouse in the state falls at the hands of the Lady T-Wolves. Although a celebration, they all knew it was time to focus and lock in to prepare to take on a familiar foe.
The varsity girls soccer team will take on the Rouse Raiders at Bible Stadium at 7 p.m. tonight for the Regional Quarterfinal playoff game. The winner of this game will face the winner of McAllen Memorial vs. Flour Bluff.
“We’ve honestly been preparing for this game since the beginning of the year,” junior forward and team captain Meredith Koltz said. “It’s a district team and it’s a team that we’ve been determined to beat for a long time.”
The team has not beat the Raiders since Koltz has been playing at the high school level. Koltz said that despite the rivalry, the team has a lot of respect for Rouse.
“We love their girls,” Koltz said. “We love their coaching staff, but it’s a team that is extremely talented and if you beat them, it just shows how good of a team you are.”
The T-Wolves beat top ranked Smithson Valley Rangers 2-1 with a winning goal from Sofia Peters, as well as the undefeated Alamo Height Mules in the first and second round. While Koltz said the underdog mentality is keeping the team ready for more, senior attacking middle Frances Tran, said it’s a morale boost for the team.
“I know we were not 100% confident in those games,” Tran said. “But, Rouse is a big opponent for sure. We’re definitely going in with a lot of morale [because of the previous wins].”
Tickets can be purchased here for the game. Koltz said support from the student body at the game will be important to the success of the soccer team tonight.
“I think it’s going to be a really, really good game,” Koltz said. “Not high scoring for either team, but it’s going to be really tight. Honestly we just need people to be there, be loud, just be proud to be a part of Cedar Park and not a part of Rouse and show them that we have a better support system and a better team.”

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)

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].”
