Origin of the "Blue Streak"

The nickname "Blue Streaks" (more commonly seen today as Bluestreaks) was first used in 1933 by former Archbold coach M.A. Farber, who served as the head boys' basketball coach from 1930 until 1949. After watching the Sandusky Blue Streaks play, Farber adopted the name to his own team, knowing that they would likely never play each other because of the difference in school size. Prior to this, Archbold had been referred to as "the Archbold Team." In the 1910s, some local fathers started a movement to call the squad the "Archbold Germans" due to the German heritage of most of the players. However, this name never stuck on.[7]
