In the MaxPreps database, we have 28 Minutemen on the mascots list (
click here to see them). So before we talk about why the Minutemen fit into the whole Fourth of July theme, we should determine what a Minuteman actually is. It's a "Member of a class of American militiamen who volunteered to be ready for service at a minute's notice," during or preceding the Revolutionary War. So basically if things were going bad for the people in the Colonies as a British attack came, the Minutemen were the ones who showed up quickly and got things fixed. We'll give special props to the Minutemen of
Liberty (Bedford, Va.), for a great logo.
