Actually I knew most of it. I have driven past the Jug Rock since I was a kid with my parents and grand parents, I've heard the story a thousand times.
I learned about Clarksville in MS history.
I would still suggest contacting @Lysander in the early morning hours.....ask him about any subject, it's certain to be entertaining.
Will do--good guy. With that, I have a few that need to be mentioned: Crawfordsville Athenians, Bishop Dwenger (or Indianapolis Lutheran for our Protestant friends) Saints, Fort Wayne North Legends, Speedway Sparkplugs, and Sullivan Golden Arrows...

Assume Clarksville Generals take their name from George Rogers Clark. The city of Clarksville was part of the “Clark Grant” as was most of Clark and Floyd Counties.
Floyd Central Highlanders, assuming because they are the shining beacon on top of the hill.
Being born, raised, and lived in Seymour all my life, I don't know the story behind our mascot. Though they don't have Football, Muncie Burris's mascot is also Owls. As I have pointed out many times, Owls are ferocious raptors.
My dad was a graduate of Rockville, and he never knew the point of their mascot being the Rox.
Shoals has the largest free standing table rock formation east of the Mississippi, named the Jug Rock. I've never seen it, but I've seen the sign flash by on 50 as I drive someplace else.
As far as the Millers of Noblesville, I would ask @LysanderI'd wait until the early morning hours.
I love Wikipedia--it got me through grad school. According to that website, a miller is one who mills flour...
Owls--groovy nickname--just ask Bill Cosby (Temple University)

And Whiting, IN, home of the Mascot Hall of Fame!!!!
Though, I think with BJ as the new HC, time to start the official petitions of ditching the Oilers and going to the Fighting Perogi's!!!! Fits the staff's fitness well!!! Cheers Mate
I could go for some Pierogi, maybe a kielbasa or paprikash, and won't rule out goulash...

How about the
Gladiators of Hammond Gavit
Governors of Hammond Morton
Pioneers of Hammond Clark
The Gladiators did make this list, or at least an honorable mention, so they have that going for them. The Governors, although unnamed, is a swell nickname and should be properly represented. Pioneers? Too common, as many other squads, such as Boonville and Mooresville (among others) use the moniker. I dig originality and creativity, PC is also a must...

"Coach Hayes, why did you go for two?"

Anybody have research on this?
West Lafayette and Lafayette played a basketball game on grass tonight...
74-66 Jeff. That’s 140 points...28 more than they combined against one another last winter in basketball!
The New Pal/Snider state game comes to mind but even it falls short.
Some Stats:
WL's Kyle Adams 45-61, 554 yards, 7 TD; LJ's Grimes 19-29, 404 yards, 2 TD; LJ's Marquis Munoz 197 rush yds, 6 total TD
Embarrassing or amazing? You decide...
More basketball on grass in Tippecanoe County--love it!

Good hanging out with you guys, and of course, posting my mendacious bunk!!! It's all in fun as we're not exactly re-inventing the wheel here...

Meaning: you have no rational response. I get it.
Moreover, I just don't care about your thoughts as this was meant as fun and you took it to another level. The only rational thing I can do is take the ball and go home.

Please explain how my high school Alma Mater is a 'PC loser'. The moniker "Braves" is about a generic a term as you can get, it doesn't indicate a specific Indian tribe or region.
Guess it would be better to use a super-generic mascot name like Tigers, Bulldogs, Panthers, etc. *yawn*
Also I bet few here on the GID actually know what the word Maconaquah refers to, but I'm sure the internet search engine warriors will fill us in.
It was partially a joke, don’t be so sensitive. Sorry I hurt your feelings...

Gonna go out on a limb here: no one cares about contraction. Why? Because it simply will not happen. People seem to be more up in arms about end zone cameras...

I have never liked the idea of it. Too much time away from school, a huge expense, these are high school kids, not college/professional athletes...
