That’s Leslie Caron. And she’s more attractive than Cary, at least in my opinion.

Blooming Prairie Minnesota, the Awesome Blossoms. Selected to replace an Indian phrase (Warriors? Red Skins? Chiefs?) some years ago. I believe the Minnesota legislature forced all the state’s schools to drop Indian names deemed offensive.

My own high school? The Zeeland Chix. He was a ferocious looking little bugger. When they went to two high schools a few years ago a community committee was formed to determine colors, mascot, etc. The newer high school is the Zeeland Dux.

My lovely wife was a Pioneer Panther*, at Royal Center (9 miles away from Logansport) - and those hated Berries call their football field (and basketball gym) The Berry Bowl.

Seems to me that pep rallies for anyone about to play them would incorporate cheers like “Let’s cream the Berries!” or “Crush the Berries and make them whine” (although the alcohol joke might be a policy violation)…or if you were PRO-Berry, maybe the pep rallies would include Berry White crooning “Let’s Get it On”, etc etc

*so I’m married to a Panther, not a cougar

More team names . . .

One that must be familiar to all you Hoosiers: The Logansport Berries

And another team that takes its name from produce, the Fighting Artichokes, from Scottsdale Community College in Arizona

Dexter and LAMary - I’m going through Sopranos withdrawal, too. I was way behind the rest of the world when I finally got to see it. A friend who is a Sopranos addict always asked what I’d last seen whenever I saw him. When I got to Pie O My he smiled and said, “Two words - ‘bowling bag!’” Weeks later we got to the bowling bag. Ewwww……

Dexter - The Slicers got their name from the big employer in town, Berkel, which manufactured meat slicers for delis and restaurants. A high school chum working in a deli back in the day cut her finger very badly on one and was under strict orders from her dad not to tell anyone that he had written the safety manual on that particular machine.

Charlie O’s barn was the only nice thing about him. He had a reputation for stiffing the local businesses. My father-in-law threatened to take him to small claims court after Charlie O. refused to pay the repair bill on his stereo, if memory serves. My dad designed and paved the driveway on his property; he wasn’t keen on paying that bill, either.

Richland High School in eastern Washington is part of the Tri Cities (Richland, Pasco and Kennewick), whose existence is attributable to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, where the atomic bomb was developed during WW 2 (in addition to the research done in the SW USA). Richland High’s team name is appropriately the Bombers, with a mushroom cloud as the symbol:
