Fred Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I'm sure there is a local story behind it but my feed is showing a score between the Jordan Beetdiggers and the East Leopards. Far be it from me to make fun of a team name but I have to admit this one caught my attention. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted August 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Mascot Jordan High School students are known as Beetdiggers, as are the students at Brush, Colorado High School. This was due to the large areas surrounding the schools which were sugar beet fields. Up until about 1950, at harvest time, classes were usually cancelled during vacations of a week or two in October, which allowed students to assist with the harvest. Their mascot is "Digger Dan."
