The Timberwolves closed out their 2019 regular season on Nov. 8 with a huge win over the Manor Mustangs, 49-24. The starters only had to play the first half, as the team led 35-10 at halftime.
The Hernandez-Abseck duo continues to be deadly to opposing defenses, as junior QB Ryder Hernandez connected with junior WR Gunnar Abseck on a couple of touchdown passes in the first half.
“I caught the ball and just ran,” Abseck said. “I knew the defense would be rallying to the ball so I just took off. The key to our success was just to play our game and that’s what we did tonight.”
The Black Rain defense had another great showing, as the first-team defense only allowed 10 first-half points. All season long the defense was stout and played a ball-hawking defense that generated a lot of turnovers.
“Everyone is flying to the ball trying to be a play maker,” senior DE Ben Bell said. “All year we’ve focused on the little things and our effort to the ball.”
The win gives the Timberwolves the outright district title. All year, the goal was to “Take it Back,” meaning take back the district title.
“Our goal was to take it back and we did just that,” QB Hernandez said.
The real season begins now as the Timberwolves head to the playoffs. Their first playoff game will take place on Thursday at Gupton vs. McCallum.

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].”
