My high school was #6, and I posted a photo taken at open house of me with #13 the current mascot.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what the mascot was when I was in grade school; I'm not sure there was one. In middle school, we were the Patriots and in high school we were the Cavaliers. I see that neither made your list. And I went to an all-women's college, and we had no mascot and still don't. Undefeated in football since 1842.
ReplyDeleteMy high school mascot was The Pirate! I lived on a peninsula.
ReplyDeleteI love the mascot list. My freshman year, I went to a HS with a Sandstoner, a little dude with a pickax, as a mascot, nicknamed Stoner. It was less a weed reference, though, but a reference to the sandstone for which my hometown is famous. The rest of HS I went to a neighboring district where the mascot was not animate. We were the Flying Ns. Norwood-Norfolk. Yeah, not very creative! My college didn't have a mascot when I attended, but now it's a goofy-looking bluebird.
ReplyDeleteThe school where I teach is the Taylorville Warriors. The high school I graduated from was the Braves. Now, I understand that has been changed and they are the Redhawks or something like that. Interesting post.
