Postby Scoops » Sat Mar 15, 2008 1:43 pm

College names aside, there are some great HS team names -

Cairo GA Syrup Makers

Carlsbad NM Cavemen

Eufaula OK Ironheads

And what's that private school in Chattanooga that fields the Purple Pounders?

Hereford Whitefaces.

Still think they should've been the Hereford Herefords.
