Oh no definitely not jealousy. People just don't like the way Paintsville snubs their noses at everyone. They think that just because they are a city school they are better than everyone else. I personally wouldn't want to go to school with a bunch of snobs. It may be jealousy on some people's parts but not mine. Give me down to earth kids who treat everyone as a friend as opposed to kids who think their butts are made of gold just because daddy has money anyday.

Proud to be a "Greaser"!

Greaser my ass, you don't know a mound from a mole hill. Believe it or not there isn't much of a city in the entire county. Get out of town a little bit and tell someone from Cincinnati or Louisville that being from Paintsville makes you a city kid and they will laugh their tails off.

There are always rivalries in high school, but after the fact most of the kids are friends. I can count as many or more Johnson Central grads as close friends than any other. The added rivalry when it comes to JC and Paintsville is the parents and administration generally dislike each other. Make no mistake the bitterness comes from the top down and the kids get caught in the middle. I also don't think it is as much an elitist attitude from one school (although it does exist in some) as an inferiority complex from the other (on a much grader scale). JMHO
