Track & Field: Under the coaching of Jere Margene, Warrior track has been fairly successful, including the girls' 4x800 relay team which has been undefeated for 2 years.

Basketball: The basketball team is coached by Johnny Darden. The team's rivals include Knoxville Catholic High School and Webb School of Knoxville. Student fans are referred to as "Darden's Army" and are identifiable by their blue shirts with Darden's face on the chest, and their friendly, yet boisterous yelling/cheering.

Soccer: The men's soccer team won 5 A/AA state championships in a row from 2003-2007 and is coached by Tom Gerlach. The women's soccer team, coached by Nathan Pifer, were state champions in the 2006 season.

[edit] Motto

"Soli Deo Gloria," or "Glory to God Alone," is grammatically incorrect in Latin. "Soli" is plural while "Deo" is singular, the number of the adjective/noun agreement is incorrect. The motto should read "Solo Deo Gloria."
