Valdosta High plays its home games at
Bazemore-Hyder Stadium in downtown Valdosta. Cross-town rival
Lowndes High School has also built a strong program, winning five state titles (1980, 1999, 2004, 2005 and 2007).
[4] Since 1968, the Wildcats' record against Lowndes County is 33-16 with 0 ties, scoring an average of 20.9 ppg as compared to Lowndes County's 10.1 ppg. The Wildcats, however, had a dry run, losing seven straight until their 21-17 come-from-behind victory in 2011.
In the summer of 2008, due in part to the successes of the Valdosta High School athletic programs, Valdosta was featured on
ESPN as a candidate for TitleTown USA.
[5] This was a month-long segment on ESPN that started in the spring of 2008 and continued through July. Fans nominated towns and cities across the country based on their championship pedigree. A panel reviewed the nominees and fan voting in May determined the 20th finalist.
SportsCenter visited each city in July, and fan voting July 23–27 determined the winner.
[6] On July 28, 2008 Valdosta was named
Titletown, United States by ESPN.
Current Head Football Coach is former Colquitt County and Hoover Head Coach,
