I think the whole point of ACL, [which] is a lot of fun, is that you can go see so many different people, even if you don’t know them. So by camping by one person, it really limits yourself from being able to go see a bunch of people.” Photo courtesy of Ava Zuniga](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/EE9E9484-FE6F-4AA0-B5F5-0C177AB32841-1200x857.jpeg)

It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

The varsity football team beat the 0-6 Glenn Grizzlies 52-28 at Bible Stadium Friday night. The victory marked the fourth win in as many years for the Timberwolves against Glenn.
“I thought we executed,” senior running back Trae Hill said. “The offense got off to a slow start, but I thought we picked it up and honestly started dominating.”
The first quarter began and ended in a 0-0 gridlock with Glenn recovering a Cedar Park fumble, although by the end of the quarter, the Timberwolves had moved the ball to the red zone, setting up a 5-yard touchdown by Hill on the first play of the second quarter.
Cedar Park quickly racked up another 14 points, with a 72-yard touchdown by senior wide receiver Jamal Porter and a 27-yard touchdown by Hill.
“I feel like everybody executed,” Porter said. “We played our best, and we had a great game.”
After the Grizzlies missed a red zone field goal attempt, Porter scored one more 34-yard touchdown, ending the half with a 28-0 lead.
The Timberwolves scored a field goal halfway through the third quarter. After Glenn scored their first touchdown, Porter scored again, bringing the score to 38-7.
“It was a nice little hat trick,” Porter said. “It felt amazing and I liked it.”
The Grizzlies scored another touchdown before the end of the quarter, and junior running back Lucas Viloria returned the favor with a 46-yard rushing touchdown. The third quarter ended with a score of 45-14.
Viloria rushed for a 55-yard touchdown at the beginning of the fourth quarter, his second in a four-minute span.
“God gave me an opportunity, and I took advantage of that,” Viloria said.
The Timberwolves immediately gave up a 70-yard kick return touchdown to the Grizzlies after Viloria’s touchdown and Glenn scored another touchdown, ending the game with a score of 52-28.
“We’re finally putting together four quarters where everybody’s doing their job and doing it well,” head football coach Michael Quintero said. “It helps things down the road, and we were able to get some guys in tonight that haven’t had as many reps because we were playing well.”
Throughout the game, the Timberwolves had three touchdowns called back due to penalties, including one in the third quarter that held the Timberwolves to only a field goal on the drive.
“The penalties are something we have to clean up because eventually, it’s going to cost us down the road,” Quintero said. “The guys know that. Some of [the penalties] were selfish and some were dumb. We can fix those.”
The win brought the Timberwolves to a 4-3 record overall and 3-1 in district play. It came after the Timberwolves lost their first homecoming game in twenty years to East View the week before.
“It was a great confidence booster,” Viloria said. “It sets us up for the next game and shows the rest of the district what’s going to happen next.”
Next week, the team plays Lake Belton, which is 3-1 in district play and 4-3 overall.
“It’s good coming out of the game healthy,” Quintero said. “We got guys that got some reps that needed reps tonight. It just helps us build the depth that we’re going to need next week because we’re going to face a really good football team.”
