Wildcat's school is the Pretzels and now we find that they're not the only Pretzels in Illinois. That stikes me as sort of unusual. We're the Phantoms, which isn't one you see every day, either. Does anybody else have or know of a school with an odd nickname? Please don't just cut and paste a list that you Googled. What's the fun in that? If you know it, what's the origin of the name (I'm dying to hear about the Pretzels)? We're the Phoebus Phantoms so obviously ours is alliteration. We have the Nimrods @ Watersweet HS in UP of Michigan

A school near to where I went to high school in PA are the Boiling Springs Bubblers. That is the most unusual I have had the pleasure of coming across.

Forgot the El Campo Ricebirds.
At one time, a district (conference) I was in had these team mascots: Sandcrabs Ricebirds Roughnecks Exporters Black Cats (colors are blue & gold) had some "normal" teams, too
Smaller school around there (about 30 miles to the east) known as the Sharks. The Texas Gulf Coast has some 'nice' names.

somethings you have to prepare for a coach of the PRETZELS. Some sportswriter will always write in the season preview that you are going to be pretty salty. Also if you're a homecoming opponent expect "Eat em Up!" Had one team named the Rockets that had a rocket going throug a pretzel. Borderline pornography! Mascot was a Twisted Pretzel - it was hilarious when the mascot did cartwheels - nothing like a rolling pretzel to get the team up!

From WI Rhinelander Hodags Kaukauna Galloping Ghosts The Kaukauna Galloping Ghosts mascot is exactly the same as my high school's, the West De Pere Phantoms. Also if you want crazy nick names dig into minor league baseball Lansing Lugnuts Area 51 Isotopes Toledo Mudhens I love minor baseball nicknames.

Jet........ it is the Poca (WV) Dots not Polka as you stated in your post....and yes that is their actual nickname. They have had some epic battles with the Bluefield Beavers over the years....hard to lick those Beavers I tell you. They have been to the state finals in six times in the last ten years. However, the Dots were State Champs three consecutive years in 2001. 2002 and 2003 licking the Beavers in 02 and 03.
