RANDOLPH, Utah. September 19, 2017. “I cannot find reasons to defend a confederate
man,” said Rich High School Principal Rick Larson. “There has been a lot of discussion about our
mascot which is a Confederate Rebel. I
can defend Rebel, that fits us. We need
to rebrand from the idea of a confederate to something else. This
is an opportunity for us to do something that will unite the
“The kids can use the blue shirts and sweatshirts to unite
Rich County. The district will order
shirts for all of the kids. We will have
to rotate the team uniforms out.”
Middle school principal Kip Motta said that Rich Rebels Parents wouldn’t have to buy two sets of
shirts. “We think this is a good idea”. "It will bring the community together."
Richard Limb, facilities manager said that when they put the
new logo into the gym they could refinish the middle school gym floor.
Larson said “I think it would be good to have it done before
state events so we can show our new flag.”
Eric Wamsley said it is a good move to have the two schools
united in colors and Rich Rebels. Board
member Bryce Huefner said that the feedback is all positive. Scott Tollentino said that he would like
comments from the community. The Board will
vote on it next month.
Other suggestions from the community include: Rebel Pride or Revolutionary from Susan House and Rebel Thunder from Karen Ferguson or Rich Rogues.
