![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 Timberwolf varsity football team continued their journey on the road to state in 36-7 a win over Alice. Despite the Coyote’s unfamiliar Slot-T offense, they were unable to hinder the T-wolves in the Region IV-4A Division II semifinals game on Friday, Nov. 30 at Heroes Stadium in San Antonio.
T-wolf offense depended on both running and passing the ball, and even an unexpected switch in quarterbacks could not hinder the team.
“It was great stepping in,” senior quarterback Chiddy Udoye said. “The team didn’t miss a step and we just continued to click and put points on the board.”
Not only did the offense pull through in zipping past Coyote defense, but the defense dominated the line of scrimmage. Both Black Rain defense and special teams played their part in securing the win.
A 20-yard touchdown pass from starting quarterback Nate Grimm to junior Samuel Brock followed junior Lane Waller’s 30-yard punt return.
“We had a specific mindset going into the game,” Waller said. “We set ourselves on coming into the game more physical than our opponent could ever think about being.”
By the end of the game when the T-wolves had a superior technique and Alice had one lone touchdown, Cedar Park threw extra points on the board with a safety and field goal.
“We aren’t making many changes in preparation for this week,” Udoye said. “We’re going to continue to prepare like we have and stay focused on our goal.”
With Grimm back from his ankle injury, the T-wolves plan on ramping up the game even more.
“You can only come back stronger,” Grimm said.
The T-wolves will have their chance to prove their focus pays off in this week’s regional championship game against San Antonio Brennan, ranked 10th in the state, Friday, Dec. 7 at the Alamodome.
