The Nashoba Wolves took on the Marlboro Panthers just days after the Nashoba Regional High School’s new mascot was approved by the Regional School Committee.
With a 14-7 win, the local football team (still wearing the name Chieftain) prevailed, just as the Wolves prevailed over the Golden Bears to become the new mascot.
Athletic Director Tania Rich told committee members at the April 7 meeting, before the vote, that the Wolves won 84 percent of the vote against the Golden Bears in the over 2,000 responses used before the mascot committee recommended the Wolves as the new mascot.
