Lights Out White Out
White Out Game Against Hutto Calls for Annual Black Light Pep Rally
October 19, 2018
Neon colors and glow in the dark accessories made for a loud, spirit filled gym after second period today. Students glowed in their white t-shirts at this year’s black light pep rally as they got hyped for the football game against Hutto. At the pep rally, there was a performance from cheer, who organized the event, as well as performances from Celebrities and Drumline.
Senior Celebrity Lauren Allen said that she was ecstatic about the pep rally turnout today.
“I felt amazing after this pep rally,” Allen said. “It was so much fun and everyone had really great energy and I can’t wait for tonight. Hutto is one of our bigger rivals and everyone is super hyped about it, it will be a really great game.”
Having moved here at the end of last year, junior Antra Patel experienced her very first black light pep rally today, and she said she enjoyed it very much.
“I loved the fact that this pep rally was different from the ones I’ve seen so far this year,” Patel said. “I felt that the effects with the lights made it more lively in the crowds.”
Similarly, junior Alexis Ayala said that she found the black light pep rally to be more involved with the students.
“I loved watching the Celebrities dance and the song selections and music this year made everyone get more into it,” Ayala said. “I wish it lasted longer. The [performers’] hard work showed through.”
Apart from the help that cheer got yesterday evening to set up the black lights, head cheer coach Nadira King said that the team put in weeks of preparation to make the pep rally and their performance entertaining.
“This year, cheer tried to do some different things that would be more visual in the dark,” King said. “I was nervous about the fly-over stunts, however we did great.”
Since cheer pays to bring in the black lights for the event, the profits from their popular white out shirts will go back into the cheer booster program. The shirts helped students take advantage of the black lights and should bring a uniform look to the student section tonight.
“I think the black light pep rally being for the white out game made students want to buy them more,” King said. “The white out game for basketball will be coming up so they can reuse the shirts.”
Senior and varsity football player, Jacob Muñoz, said tonight’s game against Hutto will be no different than the football games every Friday, as they are going into it with the same determination and practice.
“Tonight’s game is just the next one on our schedule,” Muñoz said. “We don’t take any games lightly, and we are excited and ready to play tonight as spirits are high and we’ve had a good week of practice.”

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].”
