Of course, when I was in HS about a century ago, the Pekin, Illinois HS teams were known as the "Pekin Chinks"! No, I'm not kidding. They're now the "Dragons".

Funny you mention that. There is a high school way up in northern MO (within spitting distance of Iowa) named Putnam County High School. Their mascot is the "Midgets" as well. That's right - the PC Midgets.

My all time favorite team name is for Cobden HS in southern Illinois. Their team is the "Appleknockers". BTW - the school in on Appleknocker Drive. Of course it is.
