    Now that I see that, I may have been wrong about Jordan Matthews! Someone from that area might can tell us, but I don't know for sure if J-M are the Jets or not?


    Others:
    South Iredell Vikings
    Starmount Rams
    Forbush Falcons
    East Wilkes Cardinals
    Glenn Bobcats

    As for these, I think they are the nicknames, but not 100% sure:
    Reagan Raiders
    Alleghany Spartans
    McMichael Phoenix
    North Wilkes Vikings
    South Point Raiders
    Cary Imps
    West Wilkes Blackhawks
    Pisgah Bears
    Cherryville Ironmen
