Red Raider Name Change Protest 12:37 am An update to a story we have been following for weeks. Earlier this month, the Bellefonte School Board voted to remove the Red Raider logo, and the Community was not happy with the decision. Now, the Red Raider name is on the chopping block. In Bellefonte on Saturday, current Students and Graduates let their feelings towards keeping the name be known. Alumni and Students alike lined the front of the Centre County Courthouse, attempting to show this name change is not what the community wants. A few dozen people showed up outside the Centre County Courthouse this afternoon to protest against removing the Red Raiders as Bellefonte’s Mascot. Cherelle Zeigler is a Graduate of the School. She’s adamant that doing away with the Red Raider name would wipe away the past. Cherelle Zeigler of the Class of 1996 saying: “It’s pride, its tradition, if by changing the name and taking away the mascot, you take away history. You take away history that was set there by my generation and generations before us, generations after us, up till now. That’s not fair.”
