Not having a hatred for the rival schools just comes from growing up and maturity,and figuring out you're more than likely going to have to work with, go to church with some of these people,or in my case it's just where my wife and kids go to school,every time I don the bulldog blue my wife says I never thought I'd ever see that.i think consolidated the two shouldn't be too hard,I saw that during jr high basketball tournament both communities pulled for eachother,I kinda got teary eyed the way they all came together
