rollredroll Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Thanks to everyone for the help thus far, including the schools linked to the former schools (smokefb). Sneaky, I already had that information for those schools you mentioned and therefore did not include them in the request (Holston Warriors, Doyle Pioneers, Madisonville Golden Tornadoes, Vonore Blue Devils, etc.).

HTV Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) You've left out... Knox Rule (Golden Bears) Knox Holston Knox Doyle Knox South-Young (They were the Trojans, but I'm sure they were separate at some point) Madisonville Vonore Not sure about the other mascots. Actually, going back even before South-Young were South High and Young High. South High went by the Rockets, red and white if memory serves, and Young High was the Yellow Jackets, and they were orange and black, again if memory serves. South and Young merged in to a new building in, and I believe this is correct, in the 1976-1977 school year. They were the Trojans. Don't remember what year South-Young and Doyle merged to become South Doyle. There are still some bad feelings from some Young High grads that their name was left completely off of the new school. Doyle, as you said, were the Pioneers and were red and possibly gold? Holston went by Warriors, and were blue and gold, again if memory serves. Rule was light blue and gold.

ChaunceyGardiner Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) The only school whose nickname and colors I remember that hasn't already been identified is the Knoxville East Mountaineers - colors were blue and gray. I should know the particulars about Austin High and Lake City High, but I'm having a brain cramp.
