Rocky Mountain, Skyline, Eagle, Timberline, Lakeland, and Sugar City are all great names. I also like the fact that one of the high schools in Boise is still called "Boise." And I'm happy to see James Madison in the top 20 both in Virginia and in Idaho.
I just had to look up these nicknames:
ReplyDeleteRocky Mountain Grizzlies
Skyline Grizzlies
Eagle Mustangs
Timberline Wolves
Lakeland Hawks
Sugar-Salem Diggers
I like the idea of a team called the "Diggers," although it reminds me of Pam's father in the old "Dallas" TV show.
ReplyDeleteLakeland came into Moscow and won 35-7. One of two losses for Moscow this year.
ReplyDeleteMoscow (7-2) is ranked 38.
ReplyDeleteOf course, now that I think of it, the Paducah Tilghman Tornados is a very evocative name. As are the Trinity Shamrocks, the Bowling Green Purples, the Ashland Blazer Tomcats, and the Owensboro Catholic Aces. The nickname game was very strong in the 20th century KHSAA.
ReplyDeleteThank you, GoHeath! Memorial is one of two high schools in Evansville named for Francis Joseph Reitz, a local banker and philanthropist. There's Reitz Memorial High School (on Evansville's east side) and Reitz High School (on the west side--and featuring the best high-school football stadium in history, Reitz Bowl, on Reitz Hill).
