Crawford County High School's sports teams compete in the GHSA at the A classification.

The two teams meet nearly every football season in either regular season or scrimmage games in a showdown known locally as the "Battle for the Flint" (in reference to the Flint River, which forms the border between the two counties).

Shortly after its opening in 2003 Rutland High School became a rival of Crawford County, due to the proximity of the two schools and Rutland's inclusion in Region 5-AA (Crawford's region in the GHSA at the time).

The rivalry continued in football for four years until Rutland was reclassified as AAA and was moved out of the region.

The two schools still compete at times in baseball, basketball, softball, and wrestling.
