In 2010, the school's football team was named the AAA state football champions after they defeated Brooke High School on Saturday, December 13, 2010 winning 30-0. The football team was said to be inspired by former player Kameron Puller, who was forced to sit out that season and, in turn, forfeit his spot as the starting quarterback due to the fact that he suffers from a chronic illness. The team was led to the football victory by Head Football Coach/Assistant Principal David Walker. The 2010 football championship is the first of its kind for the school in the sport.
