I found this list of worst sports team names, a lo and behold guess who I found on page 2 (along with the most racially insensitive nicknames). Its kind of funny reading the author's reaction to the name. Geez, buddy lighten up. Yuma High is full of pussies. The rest of the list is linked below.
The World's Most Ridiculous Sports Team Names

Poor Choice of Role Model
Winner:
Yuma Criminals High school
Runners Up: University of Idaho Vandals (College) Amherst College Lord Jeffs (College)
Breakdown: It really takes a lot of balls, in this day and age, when we are wringing our hands over getting our youth out of gangs and drugs, to name a high school sports team the "Criminals." It's almost as if they just gave up. "Son, you're stuck in Yuma. I'll just count myself lucky if you grow up to be a dealer instead of a junkie." Admittedly, the school was located in a prison building for three years when first founded, but that was in 1910. Guys, your past does not determine your future. Break the cycle.
Though, on closer inspection of the logo up there, they appear to be specifically Dick Tracy criminals.
