The Apollo and Tech High School boys hockey team has merged into one class AA team. The decision was made at a board of education meeting last week.

As an Apollo High School alumni, it's sad to see the Eagles merge with the Tigers, but it is what it is. I've spent way too much time trying to figure out what the team should call themselves.

They obviously can't choose between an eagle or a tiger--that would cause some major chaos. So, I started thinking about a possible name merge.

My suggestion may sound a little cheesy at first, but it'll grow on you!! Ready to hear it?The Eagles and Tigers should merge and become the Eagers!

Why not!? We could go a step further and be the Eager Beavers? Eagles and Tigers...get it? Ok, well, do you have a better idea?
