Woodstock High School's top rival, Etowah High School, is known to be one of the greatest rivalries in the state of Georgia. This is due to the fact that some Etowah students moved to WHS when it opened its doors in 1996. The students eventually adapted to the school and had a natural competition among each other (WHS and EHS). Also, the schools are relatively close to each other, about two miles apart. Their competitions between each other are often referred to as the "Battle for Towne Lake".
The football team made it to the Elite 8 in 2008 with and 8-5 record and the Sweet 16 in 2009 going 10-2, also making it to the 1st round in the playoffs in 2010, making it the 1st time Woodstock HS has made the playoffs 3 years in a row in school history.
The softball team won the 5AAAAA State Championship in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“There be some sports are painful, and their labor
Delight in them sets off. Some kinds of baseness
Are nobly undergone, and most poor matters
Point to rich ends.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
“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.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
