Athletic History
Waterford is known to be a basketball school, especially in girl's basketball.[citation needed] However, that is not their only strong sport. They also have success in football, volleyball, golf, wrestling, baseball, and softball.[citation needed] They have won consecutive TVC Hocking titles in girl's basketball from 2005 to 2013, before taking a off year in 2014 to eventual Division IV state champion Reedsville Eastern. They won again in 2015, finishing the regular season 21–1, the first time in school history that any basketball team on any side has even accomplished that feat. During their run to the state tournament, they set a school record for most wins overall in a season, finishing 27–2 after bowing to Fort Loramie 55–48. In 2016, they repeated their success from last year.[citation needed]
Their rival is the Beverly Fort Frye Cadets.[citation needed] They play each other every year in a showdown known as "The Battle of the Muskingum River."[citation needed]
