Hey, anyone know of odd names for high school teams in Houston? I'm doing some research and I haven't found a good comprehensive source on Google. Thanks!
In Pasadena ISD, there are: Pasadena Eagles South Houston Trojans Dobie Longhorns Sam Rayburn Texans Pasadena Memorial Mavericks

I don't know if they've changed the mascot by now, but back when I was in Lamar High School, it was the Redskins. Nothing too weird except that Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar was known to be a Native American killer. Irony.
my favs. Atlanta - Rabbits...I wonder if this is their mascot Spoiler Frisco - racoons seems odd Hutto Hippos klein collins - Greyhounds Lake Worth Frogs marfa shorthorns Milby Buffs (in houston)
again..not Houston but... Itasca Wampuscats (no such animal) Roscoe Plowboys Groesbeck Goats Mason Cowpunchers Italy Gladiators Hutto Hippos Lamesa Golden Tornados thats all I can think of off the top of my head that hasn't already been mentioned oh yea...Port Isabel Tarpons (Imagine the rivals jokes there) and theres a "Stingerees" somewhere near the coast..can't remember the city I do like the Springtown Porcupines..they used to have a cool-looking Porcupine costumed mascot
they used to be the Frisco Fightin' Coons..but had to change their name (I didn't know that was a racial slur)
