Cedar Park Volleyball season is long gone, but the memories made are all but forgotten. The Junior Varsity volleyball team, comprised of sophomores and juniors, ended the season 22-2 and were named District Champs. One of the highlight games in the team’s season was when the Lady T-Wolves defeated Georgetown in a preseason tournament.
“It was such an intense game,” sophomore setter Kirstyn Conwell said. “We were neck and neck with them. I remember having to serve when the score was 23-24; it was crazy.”
Sophomore outside hitter Samantha Corey was also under pressure to succeed.
“I had old friends that played for Georgetown,” Corey said. “It was nice being able to beat them with my team.”
Corey led the team in kills. Some of the other season’s leaders include Mackenzie Dunnehoo in assists, Dana Teets in digs, Lexi Breed in blocks and Evyn Robertson in aces.
The team not only worked well together on the court but off the court as well.
“Our team has had amazing chemistry, ever since the seventh grade,” Conwell said. “We all just really understand each other and we bond a lot.”
Sophomore middle blocker Kaylin Balderrama agreed.
“We all became sisters and best friends,” Balderrama said. “Everyone was really accepting, we didn’t really have any team drama.”
Another key component to the team’s success was the new JV coach, Sydney Teuton.
“She was an amazing coach,” Balderrama said. “She was the reason I had the confidence to keep playing when I was feeling down.”
For many volleyball girls, club season has begun, but high school season is greatly missed.
“I miss being able to play volleyball with my favorite people,” Conwell said. “Now we’re all into our club seasons and it’s so different not having them by my side on the court.”
Next year, the team will be a combination of new and returning members.
“I miss playing together, but I look forward to next season because we will have new teammates,” Balderrama said.

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].”
