[BigTenBuckeye]

Does anyone have a copy of the list we compiled a while ago that had all of Ohio's former high schools with their nicknames and colors? I can't find it anywhere in the archives.

[libbey1963]

I don't have a list but I can think of three immediately:

Toledo Libbey Cowboys - Blue and gold
Toledo DeVilbiss Tigers - Orange and black (I think)
Toledo Macomber Macmen - Not sure of colors, maybe black and gold.

[greyghost]

Kyger Creek Bobcats;scarlet and grey. Morphed into the River Valley Raiders when the Gallia County Schools consolidated. The other team they combined with was The North Gallia Pirates. {green and white}

[BigTenBuckeye]

libbey-

you're right about both DeVilbiss and Macomber. my old man lived in the DeVilbiss district and my buddy's dad was a Macman.

[BigTenBuckeye]

I can start up a new list and add to it if everyone wants to compile them on here. I'll try to keep it alphabetized by city/town name, school, nickname, colors, and any additional info. (If this gets too big I'll probably make an excel file too)

Mansfield Malabar Falcons- Orange and Brown consolidated with Mansfield Sr and then they decided to keep the Orange and Brown colors for Sr. Mansfield Senior's colors were Red and White.

[Pudge]

Alvordton and West Unity consolidated in 1960. Don't know the colors or mascot of either. Chesterfield went in with ???? to form Evergreen. Don't know much about those either. Any help would be appreciated.
