    Re: What school names do you all Oppose

    I oppose any name or mascot having to do with snakes. I can just see some kids bringing their live mascot(s) to a game.

    Coeburn/St. Paul - Clinch Mtn. Highlanders/Clinch Mtn. Copperheads

    PV/Appy - Stone Mtn. Miners

    Pound/Wise - Indian Creek Red Hawks (actually a good fit) or Birchfield Fightin' Cranes

    Why do I keep seeing Clinch Mt. for the Coe/SP school. Is Clinch Mt. not in Tazewell/Smyth/Russell Counties?

    I can say that the leaning is towards a name associated to the Guest and Clinch Rivers. Since each town closely associates with the rivers and have festivals named after them. Twin Rivers has been thrown around but I don't like that since we already have a few "Twin" schools in this area now. I did submit River Run myself since it encompasses the river and Bull Run which connects the two towns. Also like Crusaders for the mascot, you get the the religious Deacon and Knight together. Found this pic the other day and thought it was cool.

    They are taking submissions till the 19th then they are going to take the top three and let the kids in each school vote on them.

    I hate the Pioneer or Mountaineer name. They're not that creative.

    I suggested Wise South Copperheads for PV/AHS
