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)

Humans of CP: Brandon Breed
With 10 Touchdowns This Season, Senior Reflects on His Contribution
Reaching out to make the catch, WR senior Brandon Breed helps the team with another touchdown. This year is Breed’s last on the team. “It feels great,” Breed said. “Whenever the ball is thrown my way, I have a role bigger than just catching the ball for my stats.
November 16, 2018
“BREED!!”
“Brandon Breed touchdown machine!”
“ANOTHER BREED TOUCHDOWN!”
It is not uncommon to see such tweets covering a CP student’s Twitter feed during a Friday night game.
Senior Brandon Breed, who has been on the football team since his freshman year, said that his final year on the team has been a crazy experience, yet a rewarding one.
“It’s our senior season, so it’s pretty cool finally being the ones that everyone looks up to because I can remember when I was just a freshman and sophomore looking up to those seniors,” Breed said. “Now it’s crazy that we are in that position because I wouldn’t think that this time would come so fast.”
Even though Breed has scored in every game throughout the season and has helped the team reach its current 7-3 record, it is not the points that matter to him. Breed said he is more grateful for the experience and helping the team out in various ways.
“It feels great,” Breed said. “Whenever the ball is thrown my way, I have a role bigger than just catching the ball for my stats. It’s just such a good feeling knowing that you helped contribute to the win, not only just from scoring touchdowns all the time, but from all the other little stuff you have to execute in the game. It will definitely be a feeling that is hard to forget.”
When Breed is finished putting up points for the football team, he will train to run track in the spring and prepare for college. He said he looks forward to attending college and earning his degree.
“I will definitely miss the game even though I have been playing all my life,” Breed said. “It will finally be nice to sit back and relax.”

All students and staff are safe. “All of my friends left their stuff too, so we couldn’t contact our parents, and it was stressful,” senior Brynn Fowler said. “It was scary because I didn’t know [what was going on], and I couldn’t find anyone because it was a big crowd.” Photo by Anthony Garcia](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/firetruck-300x200.jpg)
