Mascot is center
court
Blazers logo painted on gym floor; horse’s name to come later
The North Lake Blazers have the power of a flashy
bronco behind them now.
Last week, Amarillo artist and sign painter Allen
Ebenkamp rode in from the west and breathed life
into a new gym floor by painting the Blazers’
logo in its center.
Ebenkamp has been in the sign business for 30
years, and his mural work is a familiar sight
in his city’s landscape. His one-man shop
supplies just about any kind of sign you’d
want, and he has painted numerous mascots for
schools.
“But North Lake is my first college,”
he said. “That’s been kinda exciting
for me.”
The name of the bronco will be determined by
the student body this fall, said Student Government
President Dawn Lassiter. Look for contest information
at the Welcome Back party Sept. 8 in front of
the bookstore and cafeteria.
Meanwhile, enjoy the school spirit that’s
galloping through the halls.
