At the halfway point of the season, the Cedar Park volleyball team looks poised to make another appearance in the playoffs. With a 28-9 record , the Lady Wolves are playing confidently, hoping to win a district title in the new District 19-5A.
After a difficult non-district schedule filled with quality opponents from all over the state, such as Denton Ryan and Byron Nelson. The team has began district play perfectly, opening with a perfect 6-0 record.
“My goal was to be supportive,” senior Alana Geymer said of her early season breakout performances including a huge win over Hutto where she recorded fourteen kills and eight blocks in four sets, according to MaxPreps. “I work hard to set a good example for my team, especially the younger middles.”
Senior Lindsey Ledyard, one of the veterans on the team, was highly impressed with middles Geymer and Luci Albertson, who she said are “great players that help a lot on the front row and have a big impact on this team.”
Cedar Park opened in early August with wins over high-caliber programs like Vista Ridge and Round Rock. After winning their first six matches, the team finally suffered defeat for the first time at the hands of Vista Ridge, in the second match between the two. This loss marked the beginning of the tournament schedule for the Wolves, which saw them go an impressive 20-7 against stout non-district competition.
“[The tournaments] really helped us get comfortable with each other, making us play better together,” Ledyard said of the non-district schedule. “It gave us some extra practice to help us get ready for district and a long run in the postseason.”
After the tournaments, the Lady Wolves opened district play with a straight-set victory over Elgin. Since then, the team has only lost one game for a 7-1 district record, only losing six sets along the way. They now sit second in the district behind Rouse, the only 19-5A team to defeat the Timberwolves so far.
“We are just trying to win the next match,” head coach Kori Cooper said of the team’s goals. “We don’t know anything about a ‘run.’ Our motto is Win1More.”
The Timberwolves will keep trying to Win1More all the way to the playoffs. With games coming up tonight at Elgin and Friday night at Cedar Creek, the team will look to keep their hot streak going one game at a time for the remaining seven matches of the season.

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].”
