“There’s been times [when] there’s so much clothing stored here and it gets overwhelming, so I end up having to sleep somewhere else in the house,” Mckinney said.](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/DSC_0951-1200x800.jpg)

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)

Top 10 places to Eat at in Cedar Park
January 11, 2017
- Whataburger: The main staple of high school students anywhere. Got an off-period? Skipping school? Hungry after a football game? Whataburger is the place you need to be.
- Chuy’s: With the new restaurant being built off of 1431, Chuy’s is more prevalent than ever as the best tex-mex food around. Whether you’re there for their tres leches, fajitas or just to get your hands on some creamy jalapeno, you’re guaranteed to leave satisfied.
- Torchy’s: For the most unique tacos around, there’s no place better than Torchy’s. Started in a food truck in downtown, Torchy’s is a true Austin classic. You’re not a real Austinite until tacos become a serious part of your diet.
- Freebirds: Chipotle’s prettier cousin, Freebirds offers the biggest burritos around with a better selection than your local joint. And feel free to play with your food, the restaurant encourages guests to make sculptures out of your discarded aluminum foil.
- Plucker’s: Get your wing on and fill up on fried foods galore. While you’re there, try and get on their “tweet of the day” post.
- P. Terry’s: A great burger for a great price, and an amazing aesthetic to boot, there’s no beating P. Terry’s. They seem to pop up overnight, so if there’s not one near you, just wait a few days, it’ll show up.
- Chili’s: With a little bit of everything, Chili’s is a town favorite.
- Moonie’s Burgers: Craving a fancier burger than what Whata or P. Terry’s can offer? Try out Moonie’s.
- MOD Pizza: Everyone and their brother works here. It combines all the freedom of choosing your own toppings with all the deliciousness of pizza. A win-win no matter how you look at it.
- Smokey Mo’s: Smokey Mo’s is the proud sponsor of Cedar Park High School and the best barbecue money can buy. It’s a classic.

The event has been held for the past two years and is designed to raise money for the baseball program in a fun way. “We’re a baseball team, so people love to compete,” Cuevas said. “So we figured we better do something that gets [their] attention. They want to compete. It’s not a hard sport to do, and we have all different [skill] levels [of participants].” Photo by Henry Mueller](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Henry-715-1200x900.jpg)
