High Point Baseball Announces Final Three Names
***Dragon Claws, Rockers Or Splinters To Take The Field In 2019***

High Point, NC – During the first two elimination weeks over 4,500 voters from across North Carolina weighed in on their favorite names for the new High Point Baseball team, which is slated to join the Atlantic League for the 2019 season. The Chairmen, Pioneers, RockerSox and Tri-Stars were eliminated in the second round after the Hush Puppies, Iron Dragons, and Iron Eagles were eliminated from future consideration in the first round.

Fan voting begins on June 22nd for the remaining Big & Final Three (3) Names at www.highpointbaseball.com. Each week all previous vote totals for each name are eliminated and fans will vote for their favorite remaining names starting at zero. The final team name and primary logo will be announced as part of the next BB&T Point Progress Party on Thursday, July 12th at 6:00PM.

“The High Point Dragon Claws, the High Point Rockers or the High Point Splinters are all winners”, said Ken Lehner, High Point President. “We will be thrilled with any of these names as they are all deserving in their own way. Ultimately it is up to the fans to decide and thus far these three names have been nip and tuck since the voting started so it is too close to call”.

The remaining Big & Final Three (3) Names in alphabetical order are as follows:

Dragon Claws
Rockers
Splinters

Fans are encouraged to visit www.highpointbaseball.com to vote for their favorite team name. There will only be one vote allowed per week per email address. One randomly selected lucky fan who votes for their favorite team name during each week of voting will also be eligible to win two tickets to Opening Day 2019 and two t-shirts bearing the final team name and logo. The individual winner who voted for a team name over the past week, regardless of whether or not it is among the remaining Big & Final Three (3) Names, is Becca T of Thomasville, NC.

The next BB&T Point Progress Party will be on Thursday, July 12th at 6:00PM at the construction site at the intersection of Church Avenue and North Elm Street in downtown High Point. This free community wide celebration will reveal the final name and primary logo. In addition, one lucky fan will be announced who submitted the ultimate team name.
