This school and its fans are among the most abusive and inappropriate in Southwestern Indiana. They often tout their "superiority" and when they don't have that superiority, they will resort to putting down their opponents, and even personal attacks, whether they be other teams in Southwestern Indiana, or even other Evansville schools. It would be nice to see them change their ways and respect the other schools in the area, like their sister school Mater Dei does.
