Ladoga had always been called Ladoga High School or Ladoga Spartans. Since Wingate was also called Spartans, in 1931 a contest was held and basketball Coach Neff offered $1.00 to the person who came up with the winning name. Since the largest industry in Ladoga was a canning company they became known as the Ladoga Canners.
