How did your team pick its name??

i love telling this story =-]

it was the fall of '97... our first meeting. we had a huge brainstorming session on possible names. we tried combining the mascots (Tigers and Bulldogs). Ti-Dogs was suggested. i suggested Bulgers (say it out loud... it's funny, i promise). lots of other lame names were thrown out there. finally someone threw out the idea of making an acronym of the two schools. South Fork And Martin County or S.A.M. then an engineer from our sponsor said "what about Pratt & Whitney? they sould be in there, too." then someone in the back of the room called out "S.P.A.M." smiles spread through the room. we voted and that name killed the other ideas.

so we became S.P.A.M. -- South Fork High School, Pratt & Whitney, And Martin County High School

did i mention that i love telling that story?
