From 2001-2003, the Tigers played in three consecutive South Carolina Class AAAA-Division II State Championship games, losing in all three trips. In 2006, the Tigers once again reached the State Championship game, only to lose once again. The head coach is Chuck Jordan, who has held the position since 1983 and also serves as the school's athletic director. The Tigers play at the E. Craig Wall, Jr. Memorial Stadium, better known as "The Backyard". The stadium opened in 2000. Soccer The Boys' Soccer Team is not one of the most successful in the state as is the football team. But they seem to be very competitive and are starting to challenge for the playoffs year after year. The team is run by David Covington who played for the Manchester United first team before suffering a career ending knee injury. NOTABLE CONWAY HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI
