[Doc Holliday]

Back in the day, i had the honor to play at one of the most hated and feared schools in eastern Kentucky, I had the pleasure of being booed everywhere I went, I had to sneak out of my house with my lettermen jacket because my Mother was so afraid that her little boy would get into trouble when he went to the movies or to a game as a fan.
We had a swagger, or a hop in our step when we played or when we went to cheer our classmates.
Teams from Belfry, Pikeville, Paintsville, South Floyd, Shelby Valley, Allen Central, Hazard, and Clay County all have haters because these teams have had periods where they have dominated a given sport.

When you win people look at you different, you are placed under a microscope and your every action becomes multiplied 10 fold. The kids, and fans from South Floyd are no different than the ones from any other area.

I hated, I mean really thought I hated our closest rival, when i went to college I wound up rooming with someone who ended my senior years basketball, and baseball season, we became the closest of friends. the next year I roomed with another of my most hated rivals and when our schools played in the dist tourny I had his shooting shirt on and he had my football jersey on. 25 years later our schools have consoladated and become another school all together.

In the grand scale of life its just sports, not war, the sun will come up and the future may hold strange roomates.
so to the South Floyds, Paintsvilles, Pburgs, Belfrys, Pikevilles, Valleys, and Hazards hold your head up wear your target with pride and show that the love of the game and the respect of your competitor will work all your indifferences out one day.
