Morse Bluff? nothing here
Valparaiso Bulldogs ??? ??? Closed 1967
Weston Bobcats Purple White Closed 1973
Ceresco? I have nothing
Greenwood Trojans Blue White Closed 1957
Murray? I know Murray had been farming out high school kids for a long time before Conestoga opened.
La Vista? Was never a separate school as I understand. Those kids always went to Papillion, but in 1987 the school board (seeing the LaVista area growing, I assume) decided to add them to the name. Papio has this history on its website somewhere.)

I have no nickname, just colors: red and white. I even found a couple OWH articles about the transition to Platteview. Made me think, maybe they were Trojans, but nothing definite.
The information is greatly appreciated! These are what I need for my East Central Region. When they closed would be a bonus!

Northeast, many of these are listed on the first page of this thread. It has turned into quite a pile of information to digest. Kind of fun and quite interesting. I trust that you organized types have it under control. I will continue to monitor this, though the farther away from the northeast I get, the more useless I become. Carry on.
Elba- Bluejays purple and yellow
Litchfield- Trojans Blue and Orange
Ansley- Warriors blue and white
Wilcox- Eagles Orange and white
Hildreth- Greyhounds purple and yellow
