Abington honors early football great Red Grange,
nicknamed the “Galloping Ghost,” who was a
teammate of a former coach at Abington. After a visit
by Grange to the area in the 1950’s, the high school
decided to name its teams after him.

This name was inspired by the school’s principal in
the 1920’s. He was a great admirer of Edgar Allan
Poe and especially liked Poe’s “The Gold Bug.” He
conceived the idea of awarding paper goldbugs to
outstanding and talented students. The name soon
applied to Alva’s teams.

This is a term for a blue-winged, pigeon-sized bird
that is known for darting through wooded areas.
Chosen in 1932 because it matched the school colors
(blue and white) and its small size and aggressive
nature seemed appropriate for the school’s rather
small but speedy teams.
