The girls' soccer team's upset of nationally ranked Acton-Boxborough Regional High School in the 2009 Massachusetts State Final made local headlines and was even recognized by ESPN. The Algonquin Boys' Varsity Soccer team captured two straight MIAA Division I State titles in 2004 and 2005. In 2006, they returned to the State Final to play St. John's Preparatory School, but lost 4-1. Also in 2006, the Algonquin Baseball Team won the State Title. Algonquin maintains a strong cross-town rivalry with Westborough High School, in which both teams compete in the annual Thanksgiving Day Football Game. The Boys' Varsity tennis team won the Central Massachusetts Division Title in 2009 and the Girls' team had an undefeated season and eventually won the state title that same year (the Boys' lost to Longmeadow in the state semi-final). In 2010, the Girls' varsity tennis team received a #1 seeding in the state tournament. Girls' Varsity Gymnastics became State Champions in 2011 after an undefeated season, being named both League and Sectional Champions. The Girls' Varsity Gymnastics Team repeated the same feat in 2012. The Boys' lacrosse program won the Central Massachusetts District in 2011 and 2012 and just falling short of the State Title two years in a row losing to Eastern Mass champions Medfield High School and Concord-Carlisle High School. The Girls' program recently became Central Massachusetts Champions and became the first team in Massachusetts girls lacrosse history to represent Central Massachusetts in the State Final Game; they lost to Eastern Mass powerhouse Westwood High School. The Girls' Rugby team has won the MYRO State championship every year from 2011 to 2014. The boys ice hockey team won the 2015-2016 Division III Central Massachusetts championship, beating Groton-Dunstable 2-1 in a shootout. They then beat Westfield 6-2 in the state semi-final before falling to Hanover 5-1 at the TD Garden in the State Championship game.
