The Humphrey's are wonderful people and are missed in LC by some. Every parent has the right to take their children wherever they feel necessary for things to be better for that child. But lets be realistic, Cory leaving LC didn't break LC's baseball program nor did it make Paintsville's. The game last year was exactly like someone stated earlier. It wasn't really a game-just a meeting of spite. I was ashamed how the parents and fans in Paintsville treated those from LC. They screamed and chanted Cory's name the entire game. I had to wonder how that made the other players from Paintsville feel which I'm sure was pretty unimportant considering eveyone acted like Cory was some MLB player who had joined the Tigers lineup. And lets not forget that Cory was a very good friend to most of the older boys on LC's team and had grown up with them so yes there is hostility. But honestly, Paintsville had no right to treat Lawrence county fans the way they did-remember Cory LEFT LC- we were the ones who should have been sarcastic and ugly. Of course, I expected no different but as a parent and a fan, I was ashamed that people act so ridiculously and had the coach had any respect at all for the other players on his team, he would have never allowed it. So maybe it isn't just our coaching staff that doesn't want them to meet during regular season? Bottom line all you fans out there-ITS JUST A GAME!!!

You are correct, and 2 wrongs don't make a right. Everyone in Paintsville knew what LC's coach had said. The chanting was not directed at any LC player(I don't think), but, if you know Paintsville fans, then you know we have some that say the most rediculis things...
imo, they were just trying to show everyone that they supported Cory.
Cory is not the greatest player to come from LC, nor is he close to the best to come from PHS. But he is a fine young man and people from Paintsville are very proud and glad he came to Paintsville. And proud just because of the individual that he is.
