![Musical theatre class runs through “Footloose” during their dress rehearsal. 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].”

Clad in black and green, the team continuously scores against their opponents, driving the ball to the rim. When the final buzzer goes off, the crowd of family and friends jump out of their seats, their cheers echoing around the gym.
The girls basketball team opened district play on Dec. 10 against Hays, winning the game, 44-30.
“I’m excited [for district play],” head girls basketball coach Kami Williamson (Coach K) said. “I feel like we’ve got a very good chance this year. I know our district is loaded with top 25 teams and talent, but I feel really good with what we have and how we’ve been playing [in preseason].”
Junior Maddie Pressler plays center on the team. She played on JV last year, but traveled with varsity for playoffs.
“[Playing on varsity] is definitely more intimidating,” Pressler said. “We’re playing for this state powerhouse, so there’s a lot of pressure. It’s different from being on JV.”
The team made it to the state semifinals last season before losing to Mansfield Timberview, which was the number one team in the 5A division.
“We did lose a lot of key seniors, but we had a lot of returners from last year’s team [who] made that deep run to the state tournament,” Coach K said. “[Seven girls returned], so I feel like they have stepped up and have that experience from last year. They’re ready to go and lead the team this year.”
The team was 12-3 in preseason play, winning six of their last seven games. They placed third in the BeYOUtiful tournament and played in the gold bracket in the Jack Frost tournament.
“In the tournaments we’ve played in so far, we’ve played a lot of really good teams–teams that have won state and gone to the state tournament,” Pressler said. “We’ve had some really good competition [who] we’ve been able to win against. [It’s been] a really good start to the season so far.”
Junior guard Mya Pfaffe played on JV last season, but made the varsity team this year. She said she is looking forward to district play.
“I’m nervous because I’m new [to the varsity team] and we lost a lot of key leaders last year, but I think we’ll do well in district play,” Pfaffe said. “Our hardest game will probably be against Glenn or Liberty Hill because we played them last year in the playoffs and they’re always really good.”
The team is now 3-0 in district play going into their fourth district game against Rouse on Friday, Dec. 20.
“[In order to succeed in district play], we need to be disciplined and continue to play together as a team,” Coach K said. “We’re playing really well going into district, so hopefully we make a great run.”
