This is just one of many things the school does to show appreciation to veterans, and the art will remain in the courtyard as a reminder of all of the veterans who served their country. “On veteran’s day, I think it’s a great thing we do at school to honor people that served [who are] at our school or family members,” English teacher and cheer coach Nadira King said. “It makes me feel proud, and it makes me remember the [veterans].”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Capture.png)

Overall, the girls team took second place and the boys team came in eleventh. “My favorite stroke is butterfly because I do the best in that stroke,” Pope said. “I feel like [butterfly] can test how [your ability] to convince yourself to keep going. The hardest part of swimming is convincing yourself to stay strong and keep pushing during a hard race [when] everything is tired.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/POPE-1200x804.jpg)

But I think the reason it went well [was that] people got to ask questions. I'm glad that she said so much in response to the questions and it wasn't just one and done. [The author’s responses] felt very articulate.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Sebastian-5-1200x800.jpg)

It’s very hard to actually get some beneficial learning. [The extra classrooms will give the students] a better quality of education because they’ll actually have a place specific for their learning.” Photo by Taylor Peterson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Taylor-P.png)

The varsity girls basketball team will advance to 5A Regional Semi-Finals after beating the Liberty Hill Panthers 42-37 at East View High School last night. This marks the first win for the team against Liberty Hill in the three times the teams have met up this season.
“[The win] feels so good,” senior guard Avery Allmer said. “We lost to them twice and now we finally won. This is the one that matters too, because now we get to move on in the playoffs which is so, so big for us.”
The T-Wolves will be returning to their regional semis game for the third time in four years, two of those years including the back-to-back State Champion run in 2021 and 2022. Junior forward Hope Edwards put up a game-high 23 points, the most points a player has put up against the Panthers’ defense all year, as well as five rebounds and three steals. Edwards scored 17 of her 23 points in the first half alone.
“I, myself, stayed mentally tough and got my team ready,” Edwards said. “I did not allow them to drop their heads and just made sure they were staying positive throughout the whole process. We were able to pull off the win and everybody did a good job. I’m glad we were just able to come through and show up.”
After falling to Liberty Hill two times in the regular season, Allmer said the team prepared by running through their plays and practicing playing defense and offense against the team’s systems. Allmer also said the team learned they had to change the pace in order to be successful against the Panthers.
“We like to rush a lot, so just slowing down the pace of their game and being patient is what we learned and what worked tonight for us,” Allmer said. “We just repped it and repped it again and again and focused a lot on [their plays] in practice, and, you know, got the win.”
Sophomore guard Ahnna Breiner, who finished the game with six points and six boards, said the win meant a lot to the team, as they are now advancing to the fourth round after suffering a first round loss last season to Wagner High School.
“It feels really good being together, especially because we get to celebrate together,” Breiner said. “We all want the same thing for each other and this just feels so good.”
The team will play Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial High School Friday at 5:30 in San Antonio. If the team wins, they will advance to Regional Finals on Saturday where they have the chance to meet back up with dsitrict rival Glenn High School.
“I’m feeling so excited [to move on in the playoffs],” Allmer said. “I feel like this is a big moral boost because we’ve lost a lot of close games and I feel like this is just a really big win for us.”
