954gator Posted August 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I'll start with probably my favorite from Florida the Lakeland Dreadnaughts. A dreadnaught is a British battleship, so how exactly did this Central Florida high school earn its noteworthy nickname? In the early 1920’s, Lakeland principal and former British solider I.G. McKay told the football team that it played like a dreadnaught, “rolling over the opponents just as a massive ship steams through stormy seas.” 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 The Cairo Syrupmakers out of Cairo,GA Originally Cairo HS where known as the Tigers. But one day a storm passes over Cairo during a football with heavy rain and the local Syrup factory workers quickly rushed out with rain ponchos and umbrellas for the players and fans. They changed the team name almost immediately to the Syrupmakers after the Syrupmaker factory workers saved them from the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Another one is the Glynn Academy Red Terrors. Glynn Academy (Brunswick,GA) is the 5th oldest High school in the USA(1776). Their football mascot the Red terror is actually based on the Communist movement from 1918 in Russia it was dubbed the Red Terror by a Brunswick native the term was coined by the School and became the schools mascot... Yes The school technically owns the term "Red Terror" and also yes their mascot is literally Communism... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
