With Friday Night Football fading, CPHS is making the transition to basketball season in a big way. With the revamp of the SRO, or Standing Room Only, section, basketball games could be as huge as football.
The student section will offer free food and drinks to students at select games sponsored by Maggiore’s, Shake’s, and Cover 2. Also, people in the SRO section will have the opportunity to play games and win prizes at halftime at all the home games.
The sole purpose of the SRO section is to fire up the crowd and our varsity basketball players. Most players say it improves their game play, including junior point-guard Cole Price.
“If we score a basket and the crowd goes wild it motivates us,” Price said.
The SRO is more than a section; it’s a club. Like all other clubs, it counts on a college application as student involvement. Every club needs a captain, and the SRO club is no exception. It is the captain’s responsibility to rally the stands and encourage the team as much as possible.
Sophomore guard Trey Knight says every bit counts during the game when it comes to team spirit.
“It’s easier to play when there are people cheering for you,” Knight said. “It’s more fun.”
The captain position is open for all students, including underclassmen. The captain will be elected by the students based on school spirit and creativity. Once elected, the captain will be required to attend all home games and preferably attend away games as well. The SRO captain should lead chants and start crowd pleasers like “The Wave” and “The Rollercoaster.”
Anyone interested in trying out to be the SRO captain can apply through twitter @cp_basketball.

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)
















![After he takes the handoff, senior running back Trae Hill runs down the field in search of a first down. 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].”
