I think Pburgbaseball was trying to allege that Pikeville does not demonstrate good sportsmanship when they lose. Which is not true, of course. This is one classy group of kids who hate to lose, but are classy when they do. Heck, even one of the Pburg coaches gave them props during the All A for being a classy group of kids. Posted it on his Facebook page thanking them for helping get the tarp down on the baseball field when a storm sprung up, etc. This poster just sounds to me like either a student (fan) or someone who is a hater.

But, I get what you are saying, I definitely would rather see a group of kids who hate to lose than a group who doesn't care.

You are correct though....There needs to be clarification whenever people say things like this about young kids, especially when it's not true? Jealousy will sometimes make people do and say things that normally wouldn't do or say, but that doesnt excuse it? They do have classy kids and most of them have been around the eastern part of the country playing baseball and that's all anyone has ever said about them. Whoever says otherwise has some jealousy issue they need to deal with?

At the same time, the same can be said about the Lawrence County kids as well. The only people that bring them down from that are a select few posters on here, and that is a select few with several accounts. For the most part everyone I know from LC loves the game of baseball and treats it with great respect.
