My friend from Alaska played basketball for a team called the Palmer (AK) Moose. He claimed they were the only team in the country to go by that name.

I've mentioned this on here before, but the high school I graduated from was the Aitkin (MN) Gobblers.

can't beliefe I forgot this one...from Alaska, the Aniak Halfbreeds...which stems from many residents' mixed Inuit-Anglo heritage

[winghaz]

Live Oak HS in San Jose - the Fightin' Acorns

To be technical, I believe Live Oak HS is in Morgan Hill, Calif.

The reason I know is my late brother-in-law was a Fightin' Acorn.

[lilgump]

we have the camas papermakers, thats always a good one. When I was in Palm Springs we played at Cochella Valley, Home of the Arabs. I believe theres a AA school, I think its Oakville called the Acorns.

Representing the AVON LAKE SHOREMEN. Are there any other Shoremen out there? I guarantee there are other Moose out there.

This is all true.

Years ago when I lived in West Virginia, there was a town called Poca, and yes, they called the high school team there the POCA DOTS.

In Tennessee, a school is named for one of the first executives of the state....the WILLIAM BLOUNT GOVERNORS.

There is also a high school in the city of Alcoa, named for the aluminum company, and they are the ALCOA TORNADOES.

My high school, Windham High in Connecticut, is also named the Whippets. We also have one of the best but most underused color combinations: Maroon and Blue.

[Your Name Here]

I remember one reported on SportsCenter, that was recently changed, was the Devil's Lake Satans. Devil's Lake is I believe in Nebraska.

My middle school's teams were called the Red Devils; which is a little redundant, since the Great Satan hisself is red and scaly, with a bifurcated tail, and he carries a hayfork.

Another Illinois high school nickname is the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes.

[FiddySicks]

CK High Cougars, next door to the CK Junior High Kittens.

its in North Dakota, close to where I grew up. It was one of my rival schools. They changed to Firebirds. My School's name was the Spoilers. I've never seen that anywhere else before.

One more from Wisconsin>The Whitewater Whippets.  A whippet is a grayhound.

Downington (PA) also has the Whippets.

Dudley High in Greensboro, NC goes by the Whirlies; as far as I can tell, a Whirlie was like a beanie cap with a propellor on it.

The last one's changed, but it was one of my favorites: Auburn High (MA) went by "the Dandies", and the mascot was "an effeminate, well-dressed gentleman". They changed to the Rockets a few years back (birthplace of Lewis Goddard, American father of rocketry).

Actually, it's Grimsley High that goes by the Whirlies. And their logo is a tornado with Grimsley written at the top.

Nobody has mentioned the Watersmeet Nimrods?

[Cyclopsis Joe]

Another Illinois high school nickname is the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes.

Tatapopolus?
