The boys tennis team won the district in the 2008, going undefeated and only losing one match within a match (meaning they won 8-1 opposed to 9-0) to Edison High School. The team went on to play Fairfax High School in the first round of Regionals, but lost 1-5 (the doubles matches were not played). The boys won the district again in 2009, going undefeated, but lost 3-6 to Langley High School in the first round of Regionals.

The varsity football team, after a decade of losing, rose from the ashes in 2010 to qualify for the Northern Region playoffs, and finish third in the eight-team National District.

“Calling it your job don’t make it right, boss.”
—Donn Pierce, U.S. screenwriter, Frank R. Pierson, and Stuart Rosenberg. Luke Jackson (Paul Newman)
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
