Teams from around the district and the larger Dallas area descended upon LISD’s “Volleypalooza” Aug. 28-30. As one of the hosts of the tournament, the Lady T-Wolves won against Klein Collins High School 2-0 on the first day of the tournament, as well as Waco Midway 2-1 and Liberty Hill 2-0.
They won against Anderson 2-0, but lost against Rudder and Alvin on the second day, both games ended 1-2.
On the final day they lost to Bowie High School 1-2. They also pulled out a win against Round Rock 2-1.
Even though it doesn’t count toward district, the tournament is a key opportunity for the Lady T-Wolves to exhibit their skill to district competitors, according to seniors Dana Teets and Becca Hill.
“It’s an indicator of where we stand as a team and what we need to improve on for district,” Teets said.
Along with her teammate, Hill stressed the significance of the tournament regarding district.
“We really have to come out strong and show the teams that we are ready for the beginning of district play,” Hill said.
The teams 4-3 overall score for the tournament was underwhelming for the team, according to senior manager Claire Rhine.
“The team didn’t win as many games as we hoped,” Rhine said. “But they still fought hard and stuck with every team they played.”
Hill chalked the losses up to being a new team.
“We have a young team this year,” Hill said. “But we are expecting to work out all of the kinks and come out as a new and improved team.”
The team will have to work those kinks out before playing their last season rival Dripping Springs High School, who went 3-2 for the tournament.
“The team to beat this year in district is Dripping Springs,” Hill said. “They were an amazing team last year, and only a few of them graduated, which means they have a lot of returning players.”
The Lady T-Wolves will face Dripping Springs Sept. 19 at Dripping Springs as one of their first district matches.
“I’m looking forward to seeing how we handle what they throw at us,” Hill said.

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)

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].”
