FWIW. The Gaffney High School Indians are located in Cherokee County, SC...named in honor of the Indian tribe that once frequented this area of the country. Hence the mascot Indians. And the Indians are arguably the premiere football program in the state’s highest classification (5A)....they have a very long history of excellence that includes 17 state titles. To change their mascot name now would really really be difficult to do...a lot of Indian pride and tradition there.
