Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion High School mascot

What school has the best mascot. What school has the worst mascot. What school doesn't even have a mascot.

No offense to Scott City, but the Beavers. Come on, that's pretty bad. Same with Pratt, the Greenbacks. Why not just be the frogs. Once again, I really don't want anybody to be offended by this.

The Beavers rule, i'd wanna be beaver but instead i'm a bronco

but yea the FROGS isn't exactly the best but it could be worse and be the ligers

What is Clearwaters mascot? A cup of water? BUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I crack myself up!

Oberlin Red Devils Rule

Hesston is the Swathers (Tractor with teeth looking thing)

First off the Fighting Frogs of Pratt are an original mascot, no one else has the same mascot in the enitre US-so leave em be (PHS Class of 94). The term Greenbacks comes from an old football coach and the practice uniform,it is a long and complicated story, but know that people from Pratt get very angry when you bag on their macot!
Also according to David Letterman the #1 worst High School Mascot is the Ft. Collins Colo. Lambkins..yes a baby lamb is their mascot. A friend of mine wrestled at FT. Collion High and said the wrestling mascot is the balcksheep but come on a baby lamb!
As the saying goes around Pratt "Once a Greenback, always a Greenback!"
Coach Brown

Coach Brown didn't you wrestle for FHSU? If you are who I think you are I listend to you poke fun as well.

Wow...frog or baby lamb. Tough decision there but I grew up believing I was a "dog"...a Husky. How about instead of "worst" we go with "unusual" because I'm sorry but a frog? Greenbacks is a great name...but associated with a frog?? This is more like trivia. Never knew but now I do.

Well Chapman's mascot is the "fighting irish" Its a tiny little leprechaun with his fists upturned, its pathetically funny though.

It is obvious that the best Kansas wrestling mascot is the Indians. St Francis, Hoxie, Leoti, and Manhattan. The Indians have won more State Championships than any other mascot.

Southwest highschool in Nebraska are the Roughriders, I guess they have no undies.

PS I don't want to hear any PC crap about offending anybody. You should be proud that schools want to use these mascots.

UC-Santa Barbara has the coolest mascot ever - the banana slugs. This creature of distruction can be seen on the shirt of Travolta in the movie "Pulp Fiction." I think they have a pretty good basketball team there as well. I believe we should change the name of the Heavyweight division to the Banana Slug division.

The dumbest mascot would have to be any mascot from a Texas university. Not a fan of Texas, I have to admit.

Newton Railroaders...what do they dress up as during basketball games? Maybe a freight train?! Am I on the right TRACK?... Buahahaha, I'm so full of corny jokes today.

Hill City...we are the cocks or ringnecks if you want to be official. Only team in the U.S. with a ringneck as a mascot.

Ummmm any question why???

We are actually Fighting Indians down here in Clearwater. Well, we used to be at least, I think we dropped the Fighting term because it offended to many people or some dumb reason like that. And you can add another state title to the name cause we got one in 1993.

At least our mascot (newton) makes sense. You know because we are a train town. Look at some of the other train towns forgetting their roots. DOdge City Red Demons, I mean was their town founded by the Devil. Come on at least stay true to your town.

Sheldon High School in Iowa (proud hometown of Tom and Terry Brands) has one of my all-time favorites.

They are the Sheldon Orabs. No, not Arabs; Orabs. My college roommate was from Sheldon and I asked him what exactly an "Orab" was. Proudly sporting his black and orange Sheldon High sweatshirt he replied, "Well, look at my shirt."

I didn't get it.

"Look at my shirt."

Still didn't get it.

Pointing the orange lettering he said "Ora-.."

Then to the black material, "...b!"

ORange And Black.

Now THAT is creative!!!!

Special mention goes to Everly High School (before they merged with another school and became Clay Central) who was known as the Cattlefeeders. In the old days, girls' teams were named by adding the suffix "-ettes" to the end of the boys' mascot name. So Everly's 1966 girls' state basketball champs were called the Cattlefeederettes. Gotta love it!

Is there really a team called the Nimrods in Minnesota? if there is that's awesome, I WANNA BE A NIMROD!

Ok. i used to think when i first moved to pratt that it was the lamest mascot ever. But i guess it grows on ya cause now im pretty proud of it. Somebody told me this story back in the day and i thought it was cool. If you ever wondered how we got the name Greenbacks, here it is.

back in the day( like 1930's) we were the indians and our colers were red and white. but then the football coach decided that he was tired of having the same mascot as almost all the teams he played. liberal, medicine lodge, lanerd, andale, the list goes on, and on, and on( its not really any supprise that the indian has won the most state titles... theres so freakin many of them) and many of them were red and white( probly two of the most common colers) so he changed the football jerseys to green. And shortly after that somebody started calling them the "greenbacks" in referance to there jerseys. also behind zerger football feild there used to be a creek. and on friday nights in the fall, frogs make alot of noise. it became the trademark for our team. So, the called us the fighting frogs. shortly after this the name was officially changed to the greenbacks and the mascot changed to a frog. causing us much greif from our fellow competitors and rivals. but thats ok, at least we are not like the countless other schools called the indians, or the cowboys, or other overly used mascotts.
