Re: Team Names – How?

People actually often ask where our name comes from. Our team comes from Housatonic Valley Regional HS (pronounced "Hoo sa tonic") nicknamed Housy (hoo see). We transformed that into Who'sC and thus we are the Who'sCTEKS.

After deciding on that name the question mark symbol seemed rather fitting. Our chemistry teacher can manipulate tye-dye so that it doesn't run too much and creates all of the team shirts.

This symbol has proved to be very marketable. And, it's fun to draw so I like it. Our other mascot is a frog because of the cartoon of a frog refusing to be swallowed by a stork. Hence our motto "Don't ever give up."

The robots...1st robot was Reggie 1 for Region One, our school district. Then Reggie 2 and 3 because no one changed it. But having three reggies was getting confusing so we continued the "who" theme with Housywhat'sit and Housywhere'sit.
And last year's Jeremiah after Jeremiah the bullfrog.

Next year's name is undecided but so far I vote for the Who'sizzit. (Who's is it)
