I just wanted to check in with a story I think everyone should read. “Here’s a piece by Jeff Pearlman of ESPN,”:http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=pearlman/070810 a Mahopac grad and former student of my mom, who thinks his alma mater should change its school mascot.
This debate is always ongoing. Ossining obviously dropped its nickname, but a few holdovers remain: Roosevelt, Mahopac, Nyack and Ketcham. What do you think?

He joined the daily staff soon after and has since covered various high school and pro sports. Away from sportswriting, Josh lives in Westchester and spends his free time either with his fiancee, Sarah, or expertly managing his various championship-winning fantasy sports teams. He's visited 21 major-league baseball stadiums and insists that Fenway Park and Wrigley Field are the best by far. Josh graduated from Carmel High School in 1998, then went to Boston University, where, in 2002, he received a degree in communications with a minor in history.
Personally, I think Jeff Pearlman is the best. The best writer, best looker, smart as could be, etc. Everyone should send him large amounts of money, too.
They have a few coaches named Jerry now so why not call them “Jerry’s Kids”?
That’s hysterical Carmel rooter!
I wouldn’t change the Carmel nickname, Ramses is fine with me! It reminds me to pick up my monthly supply of condoms!
