Driscoll Catholic High announced it will be closing after this academic school year. With such a prominent school making such big news, it got us thinking "what have been the most athletically-decorated schools since 2000."
A list like this is automatically going to draw some amount of argument from anybody, so here are the ground rules. We took the 11 most-covered sports (boys and girls basketball, track, soccer, boys baseball, football, wrestling, girls softball and volleyball) and recorded any state title or state runner-up. Extra points for various sports with title appearances.

I'm glad to see Seton on the list, a relative new comer, despite the school being around for over 40 years.
Isn't it interesting how much press St. Rita gets for baseball and yet they haven't been in a title game.
Do they still use am multiplier for private schools?
How has Driscoll remained competitive in football with such a small enrollment?
I'm surprised Fenwick isn't on the list.
2 things...
Driscoll isn't dead yet - www.savedriscoll.org -- please advertise that.
Also, DC was a dominant baseball school in the 90s, winning state in 1992, 1994, and 1997.
Further, they have a 3rd place trophy in baseball in 1991 and 2006.
Is there any room on the list for Loyola Academy?
St. Viator:
Soccer (boys): 2nd place when all one class (2000–01); State Champions A (2003–04)
Soccer (girls): State Champions (2001–02, 02–03, 04–05)
You forgot Providence Boys Soccer: 1A Runner up 2002
