The varsity football team took home the win against the Rouse Raiders, spoiling their homecoming game, 48-35, on Friday night.
“Our offensive line played physical in all four quarters,” said head football coach Michael Quintero, known as Coach Q. “I thought our secondary showed up tonight.”
The Timberwolves pulled ahead early in the first quarter with a field goal and a touchdown from junior wide receiver Jonah Johnson. But, with less than two minutes left in the first quarter, Rouse completed their first touchdown, ending the first quarter with a score of 11-7.
“We know when someone’s playing their homecoming game, that’s a sign that they’re trying to beat us,” Johnson said. “They’re 0-12 against us. They’re not going to beat us.”
Though Cedar Park took an early lead, Rouse later scored 14 unanswered points to take a two-possession lead in the second quarter. With less than a minute to go, Cedar Park narrowed the gap with a touchdown and two-point conversion, wrapping up the second quarter with a score of 21-19, Rouse.
“[This game] is like a stepping stone for the next game,” junior running back Lucas Viloria said. “It’s momentum for us to do the same thing we did here over there.”
Cedar Park started the third quarter off with a touchdown, with Rouse also scoring a touchdown over their own. With three minutes to go in the third quarter, junior quarterback David Cooper passed to Johnson, who scored a touchdown to regain the lead, 33-28.
“I think we performed a lot better [in the second half] than the first,” Coach Q said. “I think we just made some good adjustments up front in the box, and the guys just started fitting things better. I thought the back end played really well all night, and we finally just made them one-dimensional.”
Viloria started the fourth quarter with back-to-back touchdowns for Cedar Park. Rouse scored with just three minutes left in the game, bringing the final score to 48-35, marking another win for the Timberwolves.
“We got sloppy at the end, like when we needed to get a first down, and we were doing things that we don’t do in practice,” Coach Q said. “The details are important. The little things that we do are vital to win games.”

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)

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].”
