Georgia High School Football Huddle
We're one week into the Georgia high school football season and the biggest story in newspapers across the state was a Warner Robins pastor being upset that the nickname of the Warner Robins football team is the Demons.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution's Rhonda Cook takes a look at why Pastor Donald Crosby wants the four-time state champs to have a different mascot.
One day after Crosby announced he was circulating a petition to get rid of the Demons moniker, supporters released their own petition to "Save Our Mascot". As of today, 3,628 people had signed the petition. No word on how many signatures Crosby has gotten.
An unofficial count shows that 32 schools in America carry the Demons nickname; there are six Blue Demons; one Golden Demons and one Lady Demons.
