Girl’s Basketball hoops their way to the third round
Playing at the Timber Dome basketball court, junior guard Jennifer Stallings aims the ball at senior forward Lexus Ojeda during the Dripping Springs game on Dec. 19. All three teams, varsity, JV and freshman beat Drip. “It was really a good feeling knowing that all our teams beat Dripping springs,” Stallings said. “It just shows how passionate we are of the game, and what we all put into the sport.”

Girls’ varsity basketball played their last playoff game on Feb. 23 against Georgetown, ending the season with a 15-7 record. All district games were won except one against Georgetown and two against Vista Ridge.
The team tied for second place in district with Georgetown, which junior guard Jennifer Stallings considers a great accomplishment after beating them in the middle of their season.
“We had to beat one of the teams,” Stallings said. “We beat Georgetown, which was a great win for us and it’s something that I’ll remember for a long time. It would have been nice to be second and not have to be tied.”
Georgetown was ranked second in the state, so the team looked forward to playing the game.
“Considering we had all the odds stacked against us being the underdogs in the game, tying for second is a great accomplishment on our part and I’m happy with the outcome,” Stallings said.
Making it to the third round of playoffs, senior power forward Lexi Green enjoyed the playoff wins.
“The feeling was unforgettable,” Green said. “Even with the victory of winning second in district, winning the games in the playoffs is still a thrill to get. Though we only got to the third round, it was still a memorable season, considering that this is my last as a senior.”
To prepare for games, the varsity team kept up their traditions. The varsity team developed the tradition of playing “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars to help them get focused for their games.
“We actually put a line from the song on the back of the shirts we made for the playoffs,” Stallings said. “It was the line, “Don’t’ believe me, just watch.’”
The varsity team traditions tend to involve team bonding, which junior post LeeAnn Stephens found enjoyable.
“We put on some music just to dance and get hyped up,” Stephens said. “We would encourage each other to dance, whether we’re good or not at dancing, everyone dances a little in order to build up a sense of unity. It’s reassuring that we have each other’s backs on and off the court. And after that we’d pray for a good and safe game and then go out and give it our all.”
The varsity team’s strengths helped lead the team to the playoffs this year.
“Our team work is our greatest strength,” Stallings said. “We got really good at finding open players on the court and setting them up to take shots at the three point line.”

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].”
