My small town’s mascot was the Tigers. The next town to the north? Tigers. The town west of us? Their school shut down in 1997, but they were Tigers, too. The town south? Panthers. There is a town in the next county north that also is the Panthers.
Lots of big cats. No Cougars/Pumas/Mountain Lions, despite the fact that they’re totally a native species. There was one town whose mascot was the Bobcats.
Big cats, wolves, eagles, and uncomfortable caricatures of people. Heaven forbid a school ever choose, like, a local frog or hedgehog or whatever for a mascot.

There’s also Catholic schools with crusaders which may be more concerning than the caricatures
