Voting Underway for National High School Mascot Sweet 16

A high school mascot tournament is currently underway, where fans can vote for their favorite mascots in the Sweet 16 round. The No. 3-seeded Mellen Granite Diggers from Wisconsin are competing against the No. 7-seeded Bryn Mawr Martians from Maryland. Mellen's mascot is a blue chipmunk named Chipper, while Bryn Mawr's mascot, the Mawrtians, is unique as they are the only school with that name in the U.S. Voting will close on April 11 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, and this fun engagement aims to celebrate high school athletes and their teams without any awards for the winners. The Granite Diggers have a history tied to mining, while Bryn Mawr's mascot reflects its long-standing tradition and pride as a 140-year-old institution.
