Tonight the Timberwolves will face the Canyon High School Cougars in a Bi-District playoff game at 7:00 p.m. in New Braunfels. The team placed third in district after a 28-21 win over Georgetown to close out the regular season.
“I am proud [of the team],” Head Coach Michael Quintero said. “They are fighters. We had some challenges during the game, but our kids kept fighting. They are resilient, and they believe in the coaches and they believe in what we are doing, so I am proud of them.”
Senior tight ends Luca Wilson and Joshua Pecci both scored touchdowns, including the game winning touchdown from Wilson.
“Everyone doubted us this week playing Georgetown,” Wilson said. “We had a couple drives where we didn’t end up scoring, but you can’t be perfect. I am very confident, all we didn’t want was the 4th seed [because] we didn’t want to play Smithson Valley.”
After scoring his touchdown, Pecci went down with an injury in the second quarter, which turned out to be a broken collarbone. Senior tight end Ethan Ludtke went in for Pecci and caught a 42-yard pass, the longest pass of the game.
“I’m proud of [Ludtke],” Pecci said. “He’s one of my good friends, so it was cool to see him ball out and get some catches. I’m hoping he gets a touchdown because that would be really exciting.”
On the defensive side of the ball, the secondary unit played a large role in holding Georgetown’s offense to 21 points. Senior safeties, Cody Manning and Garrison Cockrell, had an impact, recording 15 combined solo tackles between the two of them, and junior cornerback Garrett Nichols had five solo tackles.
“I feel like I played pretty good,” Nichols said. “The whole team played really well. We all ‘ride’ together in the second half. We had a couple of mishaps towards the beginning, but other than that, we came out in the second half and made every play count.”
The team has been practicing all week in preparation for Canyon. Quintero said the team is very confident going into the playoff game.
“We are playing well and the last two weeks we have come together as a team gelling,” Quintero said. “We are doing really good things on offense and defense, so it is always good to come in with a big win like this going into the playoffs because you have a little bit more momentum.”
Tickets can be purchased here for tonight’s playoff matchup.
“I am feeling confident,” Nichols said. “We just need to get healthy and work hard [during] practice, and then come out with energy throughout the whole game [against Canyon]. We [also] will be working on just flying around, flying to the ball, and continuing to make sure everyone is giving full effort.”

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].”
