In the first round you have the speedy Duluth East Greyhounds facing off against the axe swinging Cloquet Lumberjacks. Which school do you think has the best team name?

East Greyhounds: In 1927 when East High school was built, it was called "one of the most beautiful and delightfully situated schools in the Northwest." by the Chicago Tribune. The students at east chose the school mascot to be the greyhound with the colors of red and grey. They are in a new building now, but have kept the name and the colors.

Cloquet Lumberjacks: Cloquet is a lumber town where people would come from all over to pick up lumber and wood products. The name was born out of that history and according to activities director Tom Lenarz there is even an island by the river where lumberjacks used to live in tents while they worked along the river.
