Not exactly sure what they’re watching ...
Beresford is a town of 2,100, a little south of Sioux City. It dates back to 1873, and was originally called Paris.
The name was later changed to honor Lord Charles Beresford, a British admiral. If that sounds a bit odd, maybe it would be helpful to know that English capitalists invested heavily in the area.
The town lists 5 notable people, including 1 governor (but, alas, no admirals).
Beresford High School has 220 students, and features 6 sports. Baseball appears to be the only major sport that is missing.
Now, back to those watchdogs... Turns out the team was originally called the bulldogs. And that – according to Google AI, at least – was from a fan who frequently brought a bulldog named Muggles to the games.
The name was later changed to “watchdogs” to distinguish the team from all the other bulldogs out there. Indeed, bulldogs are the 4th most popular mascot in the country. Ironically, the physical manifestation of the Beresford mascot is … a bulldog.
The actual, physical, on-field mascot is named Roger, after another longtime fan.
Not sure if that’s the real Roger on the left
