In addition to these state championships, the Eagles were voted as national champions in 2005 and 2016.

In 2021, the Eagles once again advanced to the AHSAA Final Four, this time finding success in the two games, winning the team's first AHSAA state championship, at any classification, after defeating the Enterprise Wildcats 41–37.
