Go Cats! We’ll be scouting Team Cats here at RHWA. Whether it’s cougars, lions, tigers, or leopards, they’re all winners here!
What's a Jayhawk? Is there really a Jayhawk bird? Why are there so many teams that use the eagle as a mascot and not a chicken? We’ll be seeing blue as we look to the sky at flying mascots.
"Who Let the Dogs Out? WHO?! WHO?!" Maned Wolves? Grey Wolves? We’ll be scouting our dogs to see if they have what it takes to be a team mascot.
Cobras, Terrapins, & Hornets! Now that’s some scary mascots! We’ll find out if snakes, insects, and tortoises are really all that scary.
RAH! RAH! Ricky Rhino! We have our own mascot here at RHWA, Ricky Rhino! We’re also known for our giraffes and orangutans. Would they make a good mascot?
GRRRR! Bears! Bears! Now that’s a mascot! We’ll see who’s the toughest on the field; black bears, polar bears, grizzly bears or Andean bears.
