My cousin graduated from Teutopolis HS in Illinois. His mascot was the Wooden Shoes.

[Fitzy]

[istater7]

My mascot was the Beavers. (Wilton)
So, we dealt with sexual jokes as well.
We went through many logos that looked similar to Oregon State and Wisconsin before we had one unique enough to keep us out of trouble.

I've got a Golden Beaver from a JV wrestling meet

Algona Bulldogs.

Toreador is a bull fighter. Being from Nevada we played Boone for years. I love that nickname.

Toreadors and I believe it is the only high school in the country with that nickname.

Monterey high school in California also shares this nickname according to Wikipedia.

As embarrassing as this is, a Toreador isn't a bullfighter. It's actually the guy that hands the little flag to the Matador to wave around. Pretty lame, right?

 

[Cyched]

Warriors.

For PC reasons our mascot was a Spartan

Ah good find.

They kind of explain the Toreador here.

Don't know anyone personally that went there, but my nomination for best mascot is the Blooming Prairie (MN) Awesome Blossoms

 

[BigSkyCy2]

One of my favorites is still the Freeport Pretzels from Illinois.

 

[AdRock4Cy]

Go-Hawks. I always hated it. Black and Gold too.

 

[michaelrr1]

Blackhawks.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I like the ones that are uncommon mascots. Glad my school was not called Hawks and that our colors weren't black and gold.

I wondered if I was gonna see a fellow Beaver on the board. If I had a dollar for every time some smart alec road game announcer mentioned how they were "penetrating deep into Beaver territory," I'd be a rich man.
