Lake Worth High students demand new mascot

Lake Worth FL - After years of ridicule from opposing teams and their fans, the student athletes and the student body in general is demanding the school drop its long time mascot, the Trojans. "Every game the football team plays, they catch all kinds of trash from opposing players. Why can't we just be something normal like the Lions or Eagles or Wildcats? Even the Banana Slugs would be an improvement," stated senior class president Craig Alonso at a rally to ditch the mascot yesterday. Principal Dr. Ian B. Saltzman responded "The Trojan mascot has served this school well for decades. I will not allow the immature taunts of opposing schools to force us to rid ourselves of [the mascot]. Go Trojans!"
