Sports
The Colonial Heights athletic teams are referred to as the Colonials. Their Athletic logos are a minuteman holding a Revolutionary War era musket, and the Flying Elvis head (very similar to the New England Patriots logo). Colonials colors are Red, White, and Blue.
The Colonials' main rivals are: the Thomas Dale High School, Prince George High School, Matoaca High School, Petersburg High School and Hopewell High School.
Soccer for the Colonials is on the rise. In the 2006-07 season, the Colonials made it to the VHSL Central District Finals, where they lost to defending state champions, Thomas Dale High School.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn,
Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;
Amidst thy bowers the tyrant’s hand is seen,
And desolation saddens all thy green;
One only master grasps the whole domain,
And half a tillage stints thy smiling plain;”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
“I looked so much like a guy you couldn’t tell if I was a boy or a girl. I had no hair, I wore guys’ clothes, I walked like a guy ... [ellipsis in source] I didn’t do anything right except sports. I was a social dropout, but sports was a way I could be acceptable to other kids and to my family.”
—Karen Logan (b. 1949)
“It is usual for a Man who loves Country Sports to preserve the Game in his own Grounds, and divert himself upon those that belong to his Neighbour.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
