Jay M. Robinson Bulldogs

Robinson's athletic teams are known as the "Bulldogs". The school is a member of the 3A division of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association and competes in the South Piedmont Conference with several other public high schools in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus County. The school sponsors interscholastic football, cross country (boys and girls), volleyball, basketball (boys and girls), wrestling, swimming (boys and girls), soccer (boys and girls), tennis (boys and girls), track and field (boys and girls), golf, baseball, and softball.

From 2005 to 2009 and 2012 to 2015, Robinson competed in the 4A classification of the NCHSAA, in the MeCKa Conference. Currently, the school is in the South Piedmont Conference, with other schools in Cabarrus County.

Robinson has several local rivals, but the three largest are with Hickory Ridge, Northwest Cabarrus and Central Cabarrus, the three schools that contributed a vast majority of the students. It also has a growing rivalry against Cox Mill.

In 2007 Robinson won its first state championship, when senior Jake Wainwright finished first in the high jump at the NCHSAA 4A Track and Field championships. In 2008 sophomore Dominic Parisi went undefeated in the 112-pound weight class to win the NCHSAA 4A Wrestling championship.

In the 2009–2010 season Robinson also won a state championship in wrestling for both the dual team tournament and the individual tournament, for Robinson's first-ever team state championship. Parisi and Garrison White won first in the state for their respective weight classes.

The 2015–2016 varsity boys basketball team earned both the South Piedmont Conference regular-season championship as well as the conference tournament. Weeks later, the Bulldogs won the NCHSAA 3A State Championship on March 12, 2016 at Carmichael Arena against the defending champion Terry Sanford 59–55. Junior Lavar Batts Jr. (now point guard at NC State) was named the most outstanding player of the western region, while senior Daniel Spencer (now shooting guard at Belmont Abbey College) was named the game's MVP.

On November 4, 2016 the varsity football team defeated Concord High School to claim the South Piedmont Conference Championship, finishing 8–1 in the conference and 9–2 overall.

On October 27, 2017 the varsity football team defeated Kannapolis to become back-to-back South Piedmont Conference Champions, finishing 5–0 in the conference and 9–2 overall.
