30 Indiana High School Mascots You Won’t Believe Are Real
When you hear the word "mascot," you probably think of sports, especially school teams. Most mascots are picked to project toughness—think of names like Warriors, Vikings, or Spartans. Others might go for a touch of nobility with mascots like knights or kings. And let’s not forget the popular animal mascots, often the fiercer ones like cougars, panthers, or wildcats. But every so often, you come across schools—especially some high schools in Indiana—that break the mold and choose mascots that are just a bit quirky and unexpected!

16 Indiana Towns with Dirty-Sounding Names
A majority of these towns were given their names in the mid-to-late 1800s as settlers making their way across the country found unclaimed plots of land and decided to make them their own. While I imagine they thought the names they came up with were innocent, and perhaps a tribute to something in their lives, pop culture has warped our minds to the point since then that we can't help but think of something about the town that was never intended by its founders. Take a look at this list. I guarantee there's at least one name that will make you chuckle.
