I have confirmation. It is Poca High School in WVA. Their homepage says, "Poca High School. Home of THE DOTS. Where champions are made."

My personal favorite is the Effingham Flaming Hearts-it's my alma mater.
 It comes from the fact that at one time way way back in the day the population center of the US was located a few miles West (or maybe East - I don't remember) of town.  I do believe that the nickname has been changed or updated since then. I think that it was changed to Fighting Hearts. Whether that was an official change, I don't remember. Then the word "Fighting" was dropped. Now, I think that it is just the "Hearts". However it's been over 20 years since I was last there. But, there was a great rivalry between the Hearts, the Wooden Shoes, and the St Anthony Bulldogs (also located in Effingham). Also, I'm not sure that I saw the Centralia Orphans mentioned.

At a time way long long ago (so far back that the exact date escapes me), the imaginary line extending north and south that divided the population of the US in half was located near the town. Hence the "Heart" of the country.
Where the "Flaming" part came from I don't know.

Did a game yesterday with a team named "Thinking Men". They were a 10U AAU team. Instead of players names on their jersys, they had words like "Diligent", "Obey" etc...It seemd kinda odd to me so I never bothered asking the coach about it.

Just read a story in the sports section this morning that there was a brawl yesterday between two minor league baseball teams - the South Georgia Peanuts and the Macon Music.
Wasn't (or isn't) there a team named the Macon Whoopies? I'm serious.

We have a national championship in our trophy case. Illinois might not make it to the Final Four. Then you they will be just like the football team, no hardware as usual. Peace

I almost forgot what i think is an unusual mascot name: Nothing.
Hollins College (in Virginia, I think) has no athletic mascot name. A few years back, I was building a list of colleges and their mascots for my sports database and asked one of my fellow SIDs if he know Hollins' mascot. Was suprised to see him tell me they had none.

The RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) sports teams are called the Nads.
I also knew of an intramural team (of med students) who called themselves the Cremasters.

The reason that one hurts is because my wife and I were married April 1, 1989. (My wife picked that day, by the way - I'm still not sure which one of us was the fool.) For those that aren't MI or IL fans, that's the evening they met in the Final Four. When we found out that's when they would be playing, we had to make arrangements to bring our TV to the reception, otherwise everyone would be leaving early to go watch the game elsewhere. As it turned out, other people had the same thought, and we ended up with 6 TVs at our reception. Of course, the DJ had to wait until the game was over before he was allowed to make any noise. Once the game was over, the mood was rather subdued. For about ten minutes. Then the DJ started playing tunes, and the party started. But it's all Michigan's fault our marriage started off badly!

M&M,
Thank you for the banter. I have to get my practice on when I go the United Center for the next 4 days. Illinois will probably win the thing (Go Wisconsin) and I will have to hear all weekend how Illinois is going to win the NC this year. Well you lost to Ohio State. OHIO STATE!!!! How did that happen? Peace
