Looks like the new HS is going to be the "Cavaliers" or "Cavs" similar to the University of Virginia. (founded by Jefferson) The colors will be Kelly Green, gold and black. No significance for the colors, other than that is was a color not used by competitors in the area.
I don't hate the mascot name, but it's pretty generic, with a tenuous connection to Jefferson. I would have liked to see something a little more unique, like the "Explorers" or "Discoverers" (Lewis and Clark's Expedition) or the "Independents" (Declaration of Independance).
For animal mascots, there were a huge number of animals that had never been seen by Europeans/white Americans until the Lewis and Clark expedition, including many SD natives: Grizzly Bears, Pronghorns, Mule Deer, B.T. Prairie Dogs, Prairie Rattlers, Bull Snakes, etc. Lots of good possibilities.
It's fine, I guess.

I think the Cavs name kind of stinks, too generic. Explorers would have been my choice.
Bison is ok, but wasn't the guy a state grad? Kind of funny they would pick his alma mater's only rival's mascot.
