what should the new schools be called?

[Counts]

it should be somehow representative of or attached to this area either historically, an indigenous species of animal or the like.

I vote Hellbenders and Copperheads

[Moe Jontana]

D!ckenson Central Hoot Owls

a local predatory bird AND a tribute to coal miners.

Colors: brown, black, gray, white
Mascot: mean lookin' owl with miner's light hardhat and dinner bucket
Cheerleaders: the Hooter girls
Football Offensive Formation AND Cheerleader Halftime Dance: the Hoot Owl Shift

I know most people are going to be for changing the colors but if you use JIB athletic facilities (just because they have both been re-done in the last two years and over a million dollars has been spent inside and out.) then the locker room, coaches office, meeting rooms, and weight room have all been decked out in black/orange so why not just keep those colors.

Both Pound/Wise have red in them so just keep Red in their colors and switch up the names.

Of course, who knows if Norton even joins, guess we will see

I know most of the people in Norton feel if we join use our facility for Football, there putting in Bermuda and new irrigation and drainage next spring, all that would have to be done is build a permament visitors side, the parking is better than most, the track could be turned into parking.

I say go with Field turf

JIB's Locker Room is SICK but I doubt that'll happen. Id like to see JIB's colors stay but so would everyone else... lets just go sick nasty

Yellow Black and Baby blue JIB / PV / Appy <-- Sick Nasty


and

Red / Blue / Purple Wise / Pound / Coeburn / St. Paul

All 7 Schools colors are there in Wise Co... of course Wise and Pound share red.. so someone gest screwed we'll say its pound just to keep the Screw pound format going.

Ims ure they'll think of something... but this is what I vote for the West if PV / Appy and JIB are combined


Try some out!

If you aren't fond of Nike Uniforms (Im not that fond of them) you can google "Uniform Builder" and find Adidas and im sure more Under Armor probably has one too, Im sure some nice stuff.

Well, first of all, Norton is not in yet, not sure they will be coming in. Perry's plan presented last night did not include Norton. I personally think Norton will have too many demands that Wise Co. officials may not feel like giving in to. We are not talking about just combining high schools, we are talking about dissolving the Norton City School System and the entire system joining Wise Co. That's going to mean Wise Co. taking on the debt of NCS and adding representation to the school board for Norton. This is a much bigger project than most people think to add Norton to the mix.

Secondly, it is yet to be decided as to what school populations will be grouped together.

This has been a blast to read, I have laughed until my sides hurt, Counts has it call one school Ralph Stanley and the other Ralph III. But in all seriousness this has been a fiasco for years, how many superintendents have Wise County been through and how much damage has been done to the county. Sullivan North was formed from bitter rivals and the school never has done anything in sports except for baseball, how many Appy players will play at PV, or Pound players at JJK.

Bonus points for originality...

The county should let people bid on naming the schools. Whoever puts up the most cash gets to choose. Same thing with the mascots. At least it could pay off some of the debt...
