Despite their loss in the game, Blount thinks the team performed well this year. “What inspired us to get this far was the constant practice and encouragement that came from Coach Pollard and the support from each team member,” Blount said.

During the Class 5A Region IV championship match on April 9, the girls varsity soccer team lost to Dripping Springs 2-0 in a game that would have ensured their advancement to the State semifinals.
The loss came after a string of victories against schools like Alamo Heights, Southwest, Boerne-Champion and McAllen, in a performance that placed them as top-tier competition in State UIL.
“It was so unfortunate after the good results of our playoffs,” girls’ team captain, senior Breland Mungia, said. “The team tried to coordinate against Dripping Springs’ defense, but we just couldn’t break through the line. After their penalty kick and the intermission, all momentum went towards Dripping Springs.”
Despite this loss, the girls team still has wins under their belt over their tenure in the playoffs. Regarding a 7-0 win against Southwest on March 30, five team members scored goals in a victorious game whose point margin was only third to Foster’s win against Wisdom at 12-0 and Boerne-Champion’s win against Floresville at 11-0. Their win against McAllen was also a highlight, as the 4-0 result meant they were only one step from State semifinals.
“The team did really well this year,” defense and junior Sabrina Blount said. “What inspired us to get this far was the constant practice and encouragement that came from Coach Pollard and the support from each team member.”
The boys varsity team had high hopes earlier this year as well, but their playoff journey ended after a 1-0 loss to Southwest on April 2. One new addition to the team this year came in the form of midfielder and senior Parker Forbes, who joined last October and became their leading goal-scorer.
“I think we built a solid foundation and they will continue to work hard and develop into a great team next year,” Forbes said. “Southwest scored an unfortunate goal in the first half and then after that, they played really defensively. Of course, it’s easy to say we could have prepared more and played harder looking back, but I’m happy with our performance.”

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].”
