Crazy Mascots

As an alumni of St. Pius X High School, the only school in the entire country with the "Winged Lions" as its mascot, this caught my eye.

Maybe I'm just playing favorites, but the Winged Lion deserves to be on the list, even if its not as good as the Astoria Fighting Fishermen, the Johnson Atom Smashers, or the Avon Old Farms Winged Beavers.

Sadly, the St. Pius X Winged Lions are about to enter their final year of existence. In September 2010, it will be merged into Pope John Paul II High School, which is surely to have a less-cool nickname. Unless they go with "Fightin' JP Deuces".
