Story of the Raven
Legend has it that Melvin Drake, a sports reporter for The Coffeyville
Journal in 1925, called the football team the “Ravens” because they were so
lean in their winnings. Later, Shorty Crone, Journal sports editor, said
the Ravens were red faced over their losses. Thus, the name Red Ravens.
True or not, no one seems to know for sure, but the College Dial, a former
CCC magazine, vouched for the story in two different editions in 1948 and
1956. The official Red Raven used today was drawn in 1946 by CCC alumnus
Dale Misch, who now lives in Fort Worth, Texas. |
