The school's rival is Cardinal Spellman High School located in Brockton, Massachusetts.
In 2005, the school witnessed their football team go to their second straight Division 3 Super Bowl. They also had boys' and girls' soccer and boys' basketball team capture league titles. The hockey team, the only Division 1 team in the school, made the tournament in 2005 as well. In 2007, The Girls Basketball Team won the Division Three State Championship, the first sport title of the year. They are now, as of 2008, back-to-back Division Three State Champions. Archbishop Williams High School put in a new all-purpose sports stadium on Storrs Ave.
The Mascot of Archies, The Bishop, is the mascot because Archbishop Williams is named after Archbishop Williams, who was also a bishop, and later became an Archbishop. When other teams play the Bishops they repeatedly chant, "BEAT THE BISHOP(s)"

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“In the end, I think you really only get as far as you’re allowed to get.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 87 (June 17, 1991)
“...I didn’t come to this with any particular cachet. I was just a person who grew up in the United States. And when I looked around at the people who were sportscasters, I thought they were just people who grew up in the United States, too. So I thought, Why can’t a woman do it? I just assumed everyone else would think it was a swell idea.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 85 (June 17, 1991)
