Cedar Park was honored with the presentation of the UIL Lone Star Cup at the annual Meet the Timberwolves event on Thurs. Aug. 22. Cedar Park students and parents gathered at the high school to celebrate and commemorate the achievements of the school’s extra-curricular activities in a festival-like atmosphere, creating a fun night for everyone in the community.
Cedar Park won the esteemed Lone Star Cup after outscoring Highland Park 108-98. Lone Star points are given based upon the performance of a school’s extra-curricular activities. Cedar Park had the most points of all 4A high schools in Texas, an accomplishment many Timberwolves are proud of.
“Everything we did last year was awesome,” senior Lane Waller said. “We excelled in everything, whether it was academic or athletic.”
The 2012-13 school year brought with it many accomplishments. For example, boys and girls cross country teams, along with boys golf, earned second at state meets. Girls golf earned third at the state meet, and girls soccer and volleyball both made state tournament appearances. Among this success, the Cedar Park football team became 4A Division 2 State Champions.
Athletics were not the only extra-curricular activities, however, that contributed to the earning of the Lone Star Cup. Academic UIL made great strides, had some state qualifiers in events such as debate and journalism, and even earned a first place state finish in biology.
“My favorite part was how the whole community came together to celebrate the high schools achievements.” senior Sam Brock said. “I think it’s amazing how we so well in so many different categories. I hope we can repeat last year’s achievements.”
Many Timberwolves are looking ahead to this year.
“I hope we surpass our achievements last year by a mile,” Waller said. “I want to make last year look like it was nothing,” Waller said.

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].”
