Union Parish used to be Farmerville HS. Now that they're Union Parish, they call themselves The U

Makes sense since those of us who grew up there called Farmerville "The Ville". We like shortening things up and putting "The" in front of it so no one confuses us with lesser towns.

"The U" is a hell of a lot better than "The Fighting Farmers" even though the team had a reputation for fighting when I made my bones there back in the 70's.
