In a recent article by Sports Illustrated, the Cary High Imps were dubbed the No. 4 most unique high school nickname.
The Imps fell behind only the Lakeland (Fla.) Dreadnaughts, the Glenville (Oh.) Tarblooders and the Cairo (Ga.) Syrupmakers.
Here's an excerpt from the article:
"4. Cary Imps, Cary, N.C.
The name is awesome, but the logo is even better. Imagine if the Great Gazoo fromThe Flintstones had turned demonic and started a steroid/imp growth hormone regimen that even Bill Romanowski would have considered excessive. You would let this imp call you a dumb-dumb."

NC has some great nicknames

I'm sure Cherrryville High School is disappointed that they were not good enough to rate a mention from SI as they are also the Ironmen...
Imps?
