Can Wantagh find a way to keep Warriors name?
the rules and regulations it adopts.
The ruling directly impacts Wantagh because its team name is the Warriors, and its logo depicts a profile of a Native American man. Nearby schools that are affected include the Amityville Warriors, the Massapequa Chiefs and the Sewanhaka Indians.
The Massapequa Board of Education is vehemently opposing the ruling, vowing to do everything in its power to fight the decision.
Wantagh said it wants to meet the state halfway, pledging to find a new logo but keep the Warriors’ name.
Neither Wantagh nor Massapequa districts’ efforts are likely to succeed.
