Meet the Maniacs, one of the most unique and spirited school mascots out there The Maniacs are the proud symbol of Orofino High School in Idaho, and their story is pretty cool. Back in the 1920s, the school's basketball team played a game against a rival team, and their energetic and aggressive playing style earned them the nickname "Maniacs" ⚡. Despite being near a state mental hospital, the students insist the name isn't about that; it's about being "ungovernably enthusiastic" and super passionate about their sports ⭐. This mascot has brought a lot of national attention to the school, with ESPN even listing it as one of the top team mascots in the country. The Maniacs love their quirky name and the excitement it brings, saying it's way more fun than a more traditional mascot like a bear or bengal. So, if you're looking for a school spirit that's totally on fire, the Orofino Maniacs are definitely worth checking out 🏆
