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)

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].”

Going the Distance
Cross Country Works Hard to Go Far This Season
The JV girls, including Kyla Woods and Erika Arthur, take off to start their meet on Sept. 16 at the Cedar Park Invitational.
September 22, 2017
From practicing every day except Sunday, getting together for team dinners once a week and dedicating two to four hours a day running, the girls cross country team works hard to fulfill their goal to win state. Along with working hard, they also help and encourage one another while growing closer as a team, according to junior captain Sophia Roach.
Although some might think XC is a individual sport, these athletes are actually very close with one another and encourage each other to do their best.
“I’ve made so many friendships and memories with my team,” senior Kyla Woods said. “I love my girls and I’ll always have their back because I know they have mine.”
To prepare for the meets, the girl’s team physically trains by running up to 42 miles a week and waking up at 6 a.m. on the weekdays to practice. Also, they get together for team dinners at different runner’s houses two days before each meet. In doing this they are hoping that it will help the athletes become comfortable with each other in a non-running environment.
“To physically prepare for meets I make sure I get plenty of sleep and carb load at our team dinners,” Woods said. “To mentally prepare I always talk to my parents and my team before my race and they usually give me a cliché pep talk, but they legitimately work.”
The team is preparing to go the distance this season and has already won multiple titles. At their last meet, the Elite Varsity girls team won, and and they are looking to trying their hardest to go all the way to state.
“I look forward to watching the girls do their very best this season,” Roach said. “I want us to keep racing as long as there are still races.”
As well as team goals, individual runners have plans for what they want to accomplish this season.
“My goals for the remainder of the season are simple, I just want to be back on varsity by district,” Woods said. “Until then I don’t mind running against the JV runners because I’m just racking up medals every week, which is something I never got to experience on varsity.”
Saturday, Sept. 23 they have a bye week, but starting the following week, they have a meet every week until they don’t qualify anymore. Their next meet is the Nike South Invitational in The Woodlands on Sept. 29 and 30.
