It wasn’t just another Wednesday at CSN — it was Cody the Coyote’s big day, and he made one heck of an entrance.
At exactly 12:15 p.m. on Oct. 8, the roar of engines echoed across the North Las Vegas campus as Count’s Kustoms, stars of the History Channel’s hit show Counting Cars, and Shelby American rolled in with a fleet of high-octane showstoppers to parade Cody onto campus in style.
We’re talking chrome, horsepower, and serious wow-factor — courtesy of Count, Tamara Ryan, and Vince LaViolette from Shelby. “These were some hot-looking cars,” said one onlooker. “Cody definitely knows how to make an entrance.”
And he didn’t arrive alone. The Coyote crew was joined by seven mascot friends from around the valley, including:
Spruce the Goose & Aviator (Las Vegas Aviators)
The Desert Dogs
Lucky (Henderson Silver Knights)
The Scorpion (Nevada State University)
Marianna’s Maize
The Las Vegas Nights
The Miracle League of Las Vegas
The plaza erupted in cheers as the mascots danced, posed for selfies, and joined students in celebrating all things Coyote.
The festivities kicked off with ASCSN Student Body President Sovereign Hone, who reminded everyone why mascot pride matters. Then, the CSN Dance Program brought the house down with a performance that had the crowd cheering and waving their foam fingers.
In one of the day’s most memorable moments, North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown presented an official proclamation declaring October 8 as Cody the Coyote Day — forever cementing Cody’s place in city history.
City council members, NSHE Board of Regents, CSN Athletics, community vendors, and students joined the fun. It was a full-blown Coyote celebration that proved school spirit is alive and well at CSN!
