The Marauders belong to the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) and the Tri-Valley Conference, a 16-member athletic conference located in southeastern Ohio. The conference is divided into two divisions based on school size. The Ohio Division features the larger schools, including Meigs, and the Hocking Division features the smaller schools.

In its first year of participation as the Marauders, Meigs won the SEOAL Football Championship with a 9-1 record. Their only loss that year was an 8-0 setback to powerhouse Ironton. The Marauders have won five total football championships. (1967, 1986, 1987, 1996, 1998) The 1986 team holds the distinction as being the only team in school history to complete a season undefeated at 10-0.
