I have live in the Dallas Metroplex for 30 years now and I had never heard of this school's moniker/name before today. This story was on the radio this morning, 102.9 FM KDMX.

Probably because for the 30 years you've lived here, Frisco was just a little town until about 4 or 5 years ago. Now it's one of the fastest growing cities in the country.

IMO ... this case is a joke. I don't understand why some people are so over-sensitive about things like this. Sure, kids with no consciences from other schools may use it to pick on the kids from Frisco, but other than that, 'Coon has always meant Racoon as far as I'm concerned.

Actually, I have an aunt and uncle that have a mobil home in Frisco. They moved about a year ago to the Cleburne area where they own a couple of homes. Frisco has grown from nothing quickly, that's true. I think Bill Bates, the ex-Dallas Cowboy, has a home there and used to have a Shindig there just before the regular season opened every year.

I've heard it used both for Racoon and racially, and I'm sure the kids do take a ribbing about it from rival schools.
