New School name recommendations in Hanover County:-

[MascotMemorizer]

Yes, that is what the board has decided. The night of the school board meeting which I listened to virtually, the board mentioned those two names and seemed to be targeting those names. I personally do not believe they even gave any other names a look. Mechanicsville makes sense as it covers the area/town as a whole. The student body will select the mascot but I've already said Mechanicsville Mustangs has a nice ring to it. I think the only other Mustangs in the state is Monticello.

3 schools in Virginia currently use Mustangs: Monticello, Eastern Montgomery, & George Mason. Two schools- Menchville and Meadowbrook - uses Monarchs. Only Liberty-Bedford uses the nickname Minutemen in Virginia.
The Marauders also is a good nickname (similar to Raider or Pirate).

don't Green Run already use it?

Appomattox County ran into that issue after University of Arizona took them to court over the Block "A". Honestly, I like their new logo better than the old one!

Appomattox to change 'A' logo after Arizona school complains

In this case, A is for another. As in, Appomattox High School needs to find another logo.

Marauders is starting to grow on me.

Considering Atlee, one of Mechanicsville's rivals are the Raiders, it could bring a new dimension to the rivalry.
