tbozeglav Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yup... gotta love High School Sports.I remember reading about that a couple of weeks ago. It's amazing the amount of money that school has. Then again, when you have a nationally recognized program and are an annual competitor for the D1 State Championship, money tends to be thrown at you.Amazing, nonetheless...

Captain Kangaroo Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I think the last time Massilon won a state title was the last time K.e.n.t. went to a bowl game...approximately 1973? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy42 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 The Tigers have only won State Championships thru the poll system. Since the start of the playoffs they have only been to the Championship game twice and lost both times. Once in the 80's and a few years ago. Hence the nickname paper tigers........Overkill if you ask me but it has been rumored that another Stark County team is getting one in the near future. I guess this is the trend these days.

I guess this is the trend these days.Yup, exactly. Ask any NEO high school football fan. The tigers have a strong tradition, strong community support, and a box office motion picture about them. They aren't a powerhouse anymore, but when people care about a team that much, money will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootforRoo44 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Well it's not like Massilon couldn't take Can't in a game, they already beat them once.LINK"Paul Brown's 1940 Massillon Tigers were giants in their time. They gained national attention when they destroyed Can't State University, 47-0, in a spring practice game." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryno aka Menace Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I think it is funny how football fans are quick to call Massillon's State titles bogus because they were "voted"....hmm isn't that what college football is right now? If college football implemented a playoff I bet alot of so called powers would no longer be a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was co-oping many years ago, I worked with an Akron grad who was 10 years or so older. He was reading the book about Paul Brown at the time, and he mentioned the part where the Tigers whipped Can't 47-0. However what I ALSO recall him mentioning is that Akron was scheduled to scrimmage the Tigers the following week, but upon hearing the results of the Can't massacre the Zips promptly cancelled their meeting :blink: Those of you who may have read the book, please corroborate if you can. Either way, we can say that a Zip has always been smarter than a flush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
