Where else can you get potential matchups of Hillbillies vs. Poets, Cornjerkers vs. Unicorns, Feet vs. Orphans and the Poca Dots vs. anyone?

USA TODAY High School Sports is letting the fans choose the best high school sports mascot in the country, from A (the Auks in Delaware) to Z (the Zizzers in Missouri). The contest began Monday morning and ends at 3 p.m. March 25.

The USA TODAY HSS staff has chosen 255 of the nation’s most unique high school mascots – five per state (and Washington D.C.), with voting on the state round running until March 5. The 51 winners will advance to the second round, where they will be divided among six regions. The regional round will begin March 6 and end March 14.

The six winners then will compete from March 15-25 for the chance to be named the best high school sports mascot in America.

The national winner will receive $2,000 for its athletic department. Second place will be awarded $1,000, third ($500), fourth ($250) and fifth ($100).
