An "On The Road" feature story I shot & edited for KOKI-Fox 23. That week, we were profiling the community of Sand Springs, Oklahoma. This story asks the question "What's a Sandite?", which is the school's mascot. Reporter: Carrie Netherton. Air date: 07/12/2007.

  • Adding the suffix "ite" to a place name means "one connected with" or "one descended from (like Israelites)". In 1981 a member of the first Sandite football team, Morris Billington, said around 1918 teacher Orville Husted suggested the name "Sandites", meaning one connected with Sand Springs. A vote of the student body selected it. The Minuteman mascot became associted with the Sandites in the late 1920's. Sandite is also the name of a train car used to clear tracks and the material it spreads.

  • A Sandite is a person you want to be.
