![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].”

The cross country team competed at the district meet in Round Rock last Thursday. The varsity boys were named district champions and the varsity girls won third place as a team.
“It was truly awesome [for the boys to win the district championship],” coach Jake Alexander said. “Since I’ve been here, the boys and I have all kind of grown together. Our teams have been doing much better this year which is always what you want as a team.”
Senior Liam Snow came in 11th place in the varsity boys 5K with a time of 17:35. Snow suffered an injury midway through the season and missed four weeks.
“We got district champs so that’s pretty cool,” Snow said. “It’s a pretty good comeback [from my injury].”
Senior Nathan Kukla said he was originally expected to place in the top 10, but he ended up placing 14th. He said he wished he had performed better, but was happy with how his teammates performed.
“I just didn’t have a great push at the end,” Kukla said. “My teammates made up the spots for me though. They did their job.”
Kukla said that seeing the continual improvement of the boys team over the past few years has been a special experience.
“Coming from our past [of struggling the past few years] and moving up now with a good mindset, it’s really different and really good,” Kukla said. “The feeling [of being district champions] is pretty great.”
For the varsity girls, senior Brianna Grandow led the pack, placing fourth with a time of 20:00 and advancing to regionals for the first time.
“I’m very excited [to go to regionals],” Grandow said. “I’m excited to race in Corpus Christi, and we get to go to the beach, so that’s really awesome.”
Grandow said the course was very challenging compared to their previous meets.
“I think we all did great,” Grandow said. “We pushed ourselves even though it was a really hard course. There was a lot of dirt in my throat, and even though the hills weren’t that steep, they were pushing us not to give into the pain.”
For the JV girls team, sophomores Rithanya Jeyakumar and Leilana Maul came in second and third place, respectively. The team placed second overall.
“It felt really good to be at the front of the race because I was in first for most of it,” Jeyakumar said. “[While I was running,] I was just thinking about how I couldn’t let anyone pass me. It was really hard to mentally stay with it, but I just knew that I had to finish and I’d feel good after I was done.”
