Even larger than a 7,000 pound hippo, comes a mascot that is as uncontrolled as it gets, the blizzards. What makes this mascot name even better, is the high school for which it represents, Winters.
According to head coach Stan Caffey, it all started in 1925 when the town had a “name the mascot” contest, and from there, Winters Blizzards was born. Although, once the high school mascot was determined, the town did not stop there.
“They had a spirit group called the Eskimos at one time and the junior high team are called the breezes,” said Caffey. “In 1926 the girls basketball team were called the cyclones.”
Even though this town has never even seen a blizzard, if even some snow flurries, Winters’ mascot choices continue to follow the theme of the blizzard, and therefore, gain it a spot on this list.
