Bugscuffle tale in Montague County history unearths school name origin
The account traces how Montague County School District No. 79 debated a new location and proposed Hancock name, but a crowd quipped to call the school Bugscuffle after a remark about bugs scuffling. Land donors agreed to help, and the nickname endured alongside Hancock School. Birth notices mention several area families with dates in 1973.
