Closed school Mascots

[HorseFeathers]

Always see a unique mascot thread pop up thru the year... I'm more curious in the schools that closed before my time, and what they're mascots were..

I'm talking about the Coal Hill's, Gould's, Wabbeseka-Tuckers of the world....

Perry had an elementary when I was a youngster at Casa. They had pee wee basketball teams. Their mascot was the Bears.

[HorseFeathers]

I wondered about that....I've actually been in the old gym at Perry, but wasn't sure of the bear logo cause it seemed Cartoony

[JacketFan]

My all time favorite is the Hartford Hustlers.  I also found this in the FF archives.

For quite some time, my friends have tried to stump me by giving me the name of a high school in Arkansas and asking me to name the mascot. Just to settle all doubters, I sat down with my buddy Taylor and with his help, named all 208 from memory. Enjoy!

You are correct about St Charles and also Emanuel had a basketball team way back in the early 70's but I have no clue about the mascot name.

[OB11]

Dragons was the mascot of Harrison high in Blytheville.

How long ago was that? I am from the area and don't think I've ever heard of Harrison high in Blytheville.

[HorseFeathers]

Harrison High was the African-American school...It closed after the 1969-1970 school year.

[Coach Jones]

Kensett (community just to the south of Searcy)  I believe they were the Blue Devils. (I was in 2nd grade, so the details are a little fuzzy after 35 years)  When I was a kid we lived in Georgetown, and when we went to town we would stop at the Blue Devil diner and get a milk shake.  Still to this day that is the best Chocolate Malt I have ever had.

I remember the blue devil, we used to stop there on the way home from wal mart when I was a kid and get a greasy burger, fries and a shake. it was good to.

[FoxandHound34]

You're right HF Lutheran was the Lions, Cathederal was the Knights

[HorseFeathers]

I didn't realize Cathedral was actually a different school and mascot from Episcopal Wildcats?

Here's another private school...
Ft Smith St Anne Buffaloes

[Lions84]

The Saddest thing about St Charles was the State gave them money to remodel the HS and built a new gym then 2 years later closed them down!

[HorseFeathers]

Lions I know you're old enough to name some schools that haven't been mentioned yet 👍

[Flobbito]

Enola Tigers

In the 60's Biscoe had a school and I believe they were the Buffalos, maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong. the school shutdown and the kids went to DeValls Bluff "Scrappers"
