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:
“Guys do not have a genetic blueprint that allows them to understand or love sports.”
—Lesley Visser, U.S. sports reporter and announcer. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 82 (June 17, 1991)
“Reading about ethics is about as likely to improve one’s behavior as reading about sports is to make one into an athlete.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
