Last year North Webster, Syracuse, Etna Green and Claypool were without nicknames. We called North Webster Trojans. They kept that name. We baptized Etna Green Dandelions. They changed that to the Cubs. We called Claypool the Reecemen. They changed it to the Knights. This year we have the esteemed privilege of renaming the Syracuse team. We title them the Muskrats and we certainly hope they change it quickly.
