Tran said the wins against Smithson Valley and Alamo Heights gave the team a morale boost to take on the Raiders tonight. “I know we were not 100% confident in those games,” Tran said. “But, Rouse is a big opponent for sure. We’re definitely going into tonight with a lot of morale [because of the previous wins].”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/frances-tran.jpg)

Like they’re winning band competitions or they’re getting awards for their theater productions, or I see them put on their choir shows, that’s like, wow, you guys are incredible.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rags-6.png)

Timberwolves Taste Victory in 37-22 Win Over the Bobcats
Junior running back Jonathan Stockwell looks for an opening against San Angelo on Sept. 14 at Gupton. Stockwell scored his first rushing touchdown during the first quarter. “It was my first touchdown ever on varsity,” Stockwell said. “It was a new feeling I’ve never felt before. It was electrifying just looking at everyone.”
September 17, 2018
The Timberwolves took on the San Angelo Central Bobcats on Sept. 14 at Gupton Stadium. The Bobcats came in at 2-0, with the Timberwolves at 0-2. Cedar Park emerged victorious 37-22.
Sophomore QB Ryder Hernandez started things off in the first half with a 76-yard TD pass to senior WR Carson Neel. Hernandez also connected with junior WR Will Udoye in the back of the end zone for a 15-yard TD pass. According to Hernandez, he finished the game 29-39 with 342 yards and two TDs.
“Our offense came out firing,” Hernandez said. “We didn’t get caught up in our records. We just went out and played ball.”
Junior RBs Daniel Hernandez and Jonathan Stockwell each added a rush TD, putting the game away for Cedar Park. Stockwell said the key to the Timberwolves success was getting a fast start on both sides of the ball.
“We can beat anyone,” Stockwell said. “We have the talent for it. It’s us beating ourselves. If we play how we did [against San Angelo], [fans] will see a deep playoff run or even State.”
The Black Rain defense didn’t allow any points in the first half; the six first-half points for the Bobcats came via a pick six. The defense forced a fumble and also had a sack safety in the fourth quarter.
“We went [into this game] knowing that the past is behind us,” senior LB Sebastian Duran said. “What lies ahead of us is what really matters.”
The Timberwolves travel to Legacy Stadium to take on Katy Cinco Ranch on Sept. 21 before starting district play.
We are all ready for next week and for another great CPFB season.

Balakrishnan applied to 18 colleges in total, but she decided on Columbia in the end. “Right before I clicked the button to open Columbia’s letter, I literally looked at the camera and go ‘This is just gonna really suck because I wanted it so bad,’ and I clicked it and all of a sudden you hear trumpets,” Balakrishnan said. “There’s a video that plays when you open it and I actually didn’t watch the video, I just watched the screen go black, because every day of December before ED [Early Decision] I would go on YouTube and watch the acceptance video to manifest it, so immediately when the screen went black, I started screaming and jumping up and down. And my parents in the video are like ‘What are you doing, where’s the letter,’ and I was just screaming ‘I got in, I got in.” I just started crying, and it just felt like everything in the world came together.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/ariana-2-300x217.jpg)
