It Ain't Physics, Bring Back the Patriot

Every great team is represented by a symbol that is identifiable to all who see it.

Western Kentucky University is known as the Hilltoppers. Their mascot has received nation wide fame over the past few years. Numerous commercials on national television. Great exposure for a rather unknown small university located in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Teams are recognized for their mascot, or mascots. Heck, UK has two. The famous Wildcat, and fun and goofy Scratch. USC has the Trojan Horse, Notre Dame has the Leperchaun and so on and so on.

High school sports teams don't always showcase their beloved mascots. It is very rare in this day and age. It's time for change!

Those who have followed the Pats for years probably remember the good ole days when their mascot attented every football game. The majestic white horse galloping down the hill onto the track (which ironically is now in such bad condition a horse could not eat off of it) bring school spirit and pride to all.

People from afar wondering who or what could being jockeying this creature of freedom, fans chanting, yankee doodle went to town being blasted (heard at least ten feet from the bleachers) by the band.

All this in anticipation of the PATRIOT. The one and only mascot of Lincoln County High School.
Who was behind the mask, the mystery is unknown; unless you were a member of the FCA or took Physics at LCHS or looked real closely at the man on the horse.

It didn't matter who the man on the horse was, or if this story is true. Mascots are cool, and entertaining to kids and wives who pay no attention to the game. Mascots are for all the people watchers out there, who need something to do when the game gets boring. We all know one or two.
