 popular nicknames of high schools in Kentucky. Cardinals is not it. Cardinals is like fifth. What do you guys think is the number one nickname of high schools in Kentucky? I saw Corey's list. I'm going to read it myself. I have not seen it. I'll say Bears. No, Bears is not on the top list here. Okay. Top 15 or so. Wildcats. Wildcats is tied for second with 15.
