Marshall's teams are nicknamed the Statesmen or Lady Statesmen, their mascot is the [[griffin]], and their teams play in the [[AAA Liberty District]] and [[AAA Northern Region|Northern Region]] of the [[Virginia High School League]]. Marshall's enrollment however is at the AA level, but chooses to petition to play in AAA to the VHSL to maintain rivalries with local schools. If Marshall plays in Group AA in the future (though it is unlikely), they would probably be in the [[AA Dulles District]]. |

In the movie ''[[Remember the Titans]]'' ([[2000 in film|2000]]), the climax of the movie comes at the end of the 1971 AAA state championship football game between [[T.C. Williams High School]] and Marshall High School. The movie was dramatized from a true story about race relations in the high school football fishbowl of 1971, as the Hollywood-underdog T.C. Williams Titans took on the powerful Marshall Statesmen (coached by Ed Henry). The most notable dramatic license taken in the movie was to convert what was actually a regular-season matchup between Marshall and TC Williams into a made-for-Hollywood state championship. In reality, the Marshall game was the toughest game TC Williams played all year and the actual state championship (against [[Salem_High_School_(Salem,_Virginia)|Andrew Lewis High School]] of the [[Roanoke, Virginia|Roanoke]] Valley) was a 27-0 blowout. The Titans actually did win the Marshall game on a fourth down play--coming from behind at the very end of the game. In addition to the added drama of the Marshall game, there were apparently some legal issues concerning the use of Andrew Lewis High School's name in the movie. The legendary Ed Henry was the head coach at Marshall for six seasons, from 1969-74, and is portrayed in the movie. In 1997, Coach Henry was inducted into the [[Virginia High School League]] Hall of Fame. |
