🐾Mascot: "Pounders"

Meet the Purple Pounders, the unique and formidable mascot of Chattanooga Central High School in Tennessee. This tough-sounding mascot has an interesting backstory; it originated in the 1930s when the school's football team was known for "pounding" their opponents on the field[ICON_hammer]. The name stuck, and now they're represented by Stan the Pounder Man, often symbolized by a hammer and anvil[ICON_anvil]. What's cool is that the Purple Pounders are the only school in the nation with this mascot, making it a one-of-a-kind symbol of school pride. It's no surprise that this mascot has gained recognition, even competing in national contests to find the best high school mascot in America🏆. So, if you're ever in Tennessee and see a team with a hammer and anvil logo, you know you're watching the Purple Pounders in action
