Elementary (I went to two as zoning changed...)

Bennett Broncos
O'Dea Owls (yes, owls!)

Junior High:

Boltz Phoenix

High School:

Rocky Mountain Lobos! (That was cool, actually, to have a wolf as the mascot...especially since the other high schools in town were the Lambkins (I'm not kidding!) and Impalas. We had some good cheers!
)

College:

Concordia Bulldogs (I actually had to look it up...let's just say athletics wasn't a priority...)

I hate going to football games because our cheer isn't B-U-L-L-D-O-G-S!! Where the cheerleaders are chanting B-u-l-l and the crowd responds. It's now B-U-L-L-S-*-*-* Yeah my class is charming

I don't remember my Elementary school's mascot. My Junior High one was the Lions while I was there, but then they changed it to something "less violent". Give me a break!

In high school, we were the Rough Riders. (you can't imagine what types of jokes can be inferred from that
)



In college, we were the Mountain Lions

I went to an all-girls school. The vollyball team was the Sacred Heart Blazers.

The all-boys school down the road had the Griffin Cyclones for football. The two schools merged and now I don't know what they have!

Elementary - Stone Creek Golden Eagles
Middle - Lakeside Mariners
High School - Woodbridge Warriors! Our mascots were students dressed up in Native American costumes. Got the boot because it wasn't "PC". When I left, our mascot was the Chicken (i.e. The San Diego Chicken!) "do a search and you'll see!"

OK...get ready for some real intimidating mascots!!!

Junior High: Falcons (not so bad, it was an Air Force School)

High School: The Riders aka. a guy on a horse...the dude on the Delaware Sate quarter, designed by the art teacher at my high school...a real eccentric guy who rides like 20 miles to the school each day in all seasons on a moped. He was pretty cool.

College: The Blue Hens (I just called it an ugly chicken)

Elementary School: Knights

Junior High: Lancers (I still don't know the difference between a Knight and a Lancer)

High School: Redhawks, which is more PC than Redskins, but is not an actual bird.

College: Blue Demons (this is funny because I go to a Catholic University)

Our school district is the Indians. I'm sure that someone will come in and try to change it.


A high school that I went to for a short time was the Solanco Mules....so of course, we got called the Jacka**es by opposing schools.

Elementary-Rascals (racoon or a badger. All I remember is a big animal head stuck to the wall (about five feet accross and high))
Middle School- Panthers
High School- Comets (yes.. like the big firey rocks that zoom around in space)

I got our mascot on one side of my class ring and it looks like a ball rolling through a graveyard (there's stars in the background and they look like little crosses
)

Ok...until I saw the Cornjerkers I was convinced that I had the worst of all time. Now I'm not so sure. (But it does make you wonder what their mascot's costume looks like.)

We were the Grenadiers. Don't feel bad...you're not alone. NOBODY knows what a grenadier is.
Our mascot looked like someone in a funny old-fashioned band costume.

(BTW...a grenadier is a type of French soldier who used to throw grenades.
