[MCMiner247]

I know both schools I'm about to mention aren't KY Schools, but 1 was mentioned above
in regards to Belfry. I have always heard that pre-1950's Belfry did indeed have a slightly
"off maroon" and some older relatives of mine confirmed this (graduates in 1940's)

Williamson High School Wolfpack (WV)-Maroon and White
Mingo Central High School Miners (WV)-Carolina Blue and Black

Williamson's color story I strangely do not know, however Maroon and White were the
two most widely used. In the 70's and 80's, a bright gold was used on several band and
basketball uniforms and it was certainly a different look (Sorta Bourbon County-ish).
Shortly after the gold though, several shades of silver were used by WHS.
The Mascot story is pretty cool though....in the early 1920's the football coach at the time
was Frank Wolf. One of the local papers that was covering a game stated the "Coach Wolf
and his pack of young men came in to the game well prepared...." and thus the Wolfpack name was born. Evidently, up until that point, the school had no mascot.

As for Mingo Central, my class (Class of 2012), was given the opportunity to vote on the
school colors and mascot name our junior year before we consolidated. We had 4 "Finalists" for each:

Colors-
Carolina Blue and Black
Burnt Orange and White
Forest Green and White
Black and Gold

Mascots-
Miners
Tribe
Indians
Spartans
