Ah, you people are forgetting the best one...

The Yuma Criminals...


The first year at the new location, the Yuma High football team traveled to Phoenix to play the Coyotes. Yuma High School won the game in the last seconds. A Phoenix Newspaper sports reporter was standing on the home team side and as they were leaving he overheard a lady say: "It was just criminal the way they stole that game." As you can guess, the next day in the Phoenix newspaper's sport section the headline read: "The Yuma High Criminals stole a Game." We were upset at the time, but after awhile, the "Criminals" wore their name with pride. In 1917, the nickname was officially adopted and Yuma High became the home of the Criminals.
