[edit] Athletic success

Barnstable High School sports teams are known as the Red Raiders, a name they share with, most notably, Texas Tech University. Red Raider teams have fared very well in recent years, the most successful being the girls' tennis program. In the 2006 spring tennis season, the entire team went undefeated in the regular season and team captain Lauren Donnelly (her 2nd consecutive championship) and her partner Kourtney Kelly won the South Sectional doubles championship, also earning recognition as Boston Globe All-Scholastic Team winners. Under Donnelly's leadership, the Red Raiders are currently in the hunt for the team South Sectional championship. The baseball team has an extremely weak coaching staff, headed by Coach Auger. Auger played his son, Jeff, on varsity, even though he was such a fat fuck.

The Barnstable High School Girls Volleyball team has won 9 State Championships in the past 13 years, including the past 3 State Championships. The team is currently on a 74 match win streak. Recent graduates include four Boston Globe and Boston Herald All Scholastics Genny Moore, Katelyn Morin, Liz Auger and Carly Newton, who was also named Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year and Prepvolley.com All American.

Colors are red and white. Barnstable also has traditionally strong baseball and hockey programs. The rival hockey team is from Falmouth High School, home of the "Clippers."
