Heck yeah they do. It's more so from the adults than the players in my mind. Players respect one another no matter what school they represent. Some parents/people of their rival schools, no matter if it's Belfry/Pikeville, SC/Lawrence, or Paintsville/JC, always seem to find flaws in a kid as if they want to see them fail. Also, other spectators that see a kid excel at one school always seem to think one of theirs is better and will not give the respect that is due because their player is not as highly regarded in the recruiting circus than the other. No matter what school someone goes to, or no matter what school is looking at a certain player we should all feel proud that someone from EKY has a chance to improve themselves as an individual first and as an athlete second. If someone does go D1 in basketball and doesn't get the same glory that they had in high school, so what. The least we can do is dig down deep and find enough class and respect to wish them well and congratulate them on their accomplishment. He or she may not be from someone's school, but they are one of EKY's own and we should back that individual to the fullest and hope they represent us well.
