The name 鈥淛aguars鈥� appeared in the 麻豆国产AV Chronicle way back in 1933, when their sports writer mentioned the coach at the Junior College of 麻豆国产AV needed a team moniker. The team was already informally nicknamed the Jaguars, and the sports writer suggested adopting the name. From that time on, they were referred to as the Junior College Jaguars.
But it wasn鈥檛 until 1992 that the school had its first mascot. Al E. Cat joined the team and helped keep the spirit and high energy of Jaguar sports alive for 23 years, until he retired in 2015 due to an injury requiring 鈥淭ommy Jaguar鈥� surgery.
Hearing of Al E. Cat鈥檚 impending retirement, Chief Fun Officer of Children鈥檚 Hospital of Georgia Roary recommended Augustus, his big brother, to Athletic Director Clint Bryant as a replacement. And the rest is history in the making.
