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)

"I feel like it’s not really appreciated in America as much, but [tennis] is a really competitive and mentally challenging sport,” Nguyen said. “I’m really level-headed and can keep my cool during a match, and that helps me play a bit better under pressure.” Photo by Kyra Cox](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hasun.jpg)

Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

When it Rains, it Pours
CPFB Takes Third Loss to Hutto in Harsh Conditions
Senior Brandon Breed celebrates a touchdown after making a tough catch in the end zone during the Oct. 19 Hutto game. Breed had a solid game with one touchdown and a good amount of catches. “I have a lot of people counting on me to make a play,,” Breed said. “So when you start playing for other people, it becomes a lot easier to make those big plays.”

In response to a tough loss last Friday, CPFB is taking steps to improve their game plan to finish out the season strong.
A combination of harsh rain and cold winds made the game a struggle to compete in. Junior Gabe Alvarez was in the stands supporting the team.
“I thought that if it wasn’t raining we probably would have had a better defense, and maybe a better offense to make some catches or make some plays,” Alvarez said. “I’m looking forward to seeing a better team than last week.”
Apart from the rain being a setback for the team on Friday, junior running back Majeston Haverda said that they will have time for improvement over the next two weeks due to a BYE week.
“We are ready to come back,” Haverda said. “We want to bounce back and come back stronger.”
CPFB takes on Pflugerville at John Gupton Stadium on Nov. 2 at 7 p.m.

Hedges has fun on the job, as there’s significantly less pressure than other jobs he has had. “I [used to umpire] little league baseball, and it’s definitely less stressful,” Hedges said. “There’s not much [that can go wrong] scanning groceries. Making a bad call in baseball is so easy.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/BF3C2083-817E-4847-B673-1FEF973AB972-300x300.jpeg)
