Hail to the Indians!

Newberry College has always been an important part of my life. My mom went to college there, my brother followed in her footsteps and met my sister-in-law there, and my husband went to school there as well. Actually, Newberry College is where Tim and I first met many years ago. He and my brother played baseball there together. Anyway. Newberry's mascot has always been the Indians. At football games, they always had someone dressed with full headdress and war paint. It was great!! Because of the NCAA making some schools across the nation change their mascots to be more politically correct and more respectful to the Native American tribes, Newberry College is having to change their mascot. It is hard to imagine them being called anything else, but I am OK with the fact that they have to change it out of respect (and because their higher ups told them to). So, they have this current year to decide what their new mascot is going to be. Who knows what they will come up with, but we will support them either way. So, in honor of the school that our family and good friends love, Ava Grace and her Daddy posed for a picture to don their scarlet and gray!! Go Indians!!
