That's true - except it's spelled Poca Dots. I actually do basketball and softball games there. ESPN did a special on HS nicknames a few years ago and featured The Dots as #1.

Some other unusual or interesting ones we have are:

The Clay Battelle Cee Bees
Stonewall Jackson Generals
Cammack Blue Streaks
Ceredo Kenova Wonders
Buffalo Bison
Up north in the town of Weirton and the high school is Weir High (pronounced we're) - needless to say, the students chant "We're High" at all the games.

We have Papermakers in our part of Wisconsin too, (Kimberly) as well as Polar Bears (Hortonville). In high school, we played the Wabasso Rabbits. They thumped us.

The Vincennes Lincoln High School (Indiana) sports teams are known as the Alices, after a famous song, 'Alice of Old Vincennes.' The funny thing is that the boys teams are the Alices and the girls teams are the Lady Alices.
