The syrup made in Cairo is cooked from sugar cane juice and is not the corn syrup known as Karo syrup, although the names are pronounced the same. During a driving rainstorm in the middle of a football game many years ago, workers at the local syrup shelter brought over their rain coats labeled "Roddenbery's Syrup" on the backs of the jackets to keep the players dry. Reflecting this heritage, the Cairo High School football team was named the Cairo Syrupmakers. In 1986 ESPN named "Syrupmaker" the number one nickname for a high school sports team.The school mascot is depicted as a syrup pitcher. In 1994, Amy Gerleman created the team's first syrup pitcher mascot costume and began wearing the "pitcher" to pep rallies and football games. The term is often shortened to "Maids" for the girls or "Makers" for the boys.AthleticsBoys' sportsBasketball - junior varsity and varsityBaseball - JV and varsityCross countryFootball - JV and varsityGolfSoccer - JV and varsityTrackTennisWrestlingBasketball - JV and varsityCross CountryGolfMat Girls Soccer - JV and varsitySoftball - JV and varsityTrackTennis The 2008 Football Syrupmakers are Class AAA State Champions after the school's second undefeated season .
