They should change their mascot to the “syringes” out of a tribute to their football teams in the 90’s and 00’


So true. I remember going to the Jesuit versus west Monroe semi finals game in I believe 1997. Jesuit had a great team but got smashed, those West Monroe row players were all 6’8 and probably 19 or 20 years old.

Their dance team uniforms are awesome too. I saw them at the dome last year and was blown away at the community support and full on college level pageantry from the team, dance team, band, students, fans. It was awesome. Most high schools are so boring and bland. West Monroe actually has a cool culture for a high school.

Can we start a petition to just give all of Monroe to Arkansas?

So you’re saying West Monroe Rebel supporters = BLM supporters?

that’s an interesting parallel to draw when the 2 groups have nothing in common.

is that supposed to be a gotcha? Did you say that about all the teams named after Indians?

This is trashy. As conservative as I am, I can't fault a black player not wanting those in the stands. It's ridiculous. Have a little consideration for others.

You mean besides the point you made that shows what they have in common?

Flags have been banned from campus since 2015. Anything to do with the Confederacy has been removed from the school. The only thing left was Dixie and supposedly it’s gone as well. West Monroe just uses the WM for everything now.

No I was asking if you were thinking of Pineville. WM is in the middle of town. There’s no woods, no cannon, no Rebel Yell. More like the team walking down the hill from the Fieldhouse with In the Air Tonight playing.
