Wasn’t this the mentality a few years ago?Well, let's be honest. This is the D2 state title game. Hoban can continue to assert its dominance, or Massillon can finally win its first state title and render 2/3 of the threads on this site utterly useless.
I think you can argue that Hoban seems to have found a different gear for the playoffs. I’d say Hoban is among the cream.Moeller beats Massillon
Massillon beats Ed’s
Ed’s beat Moeller
Hoban is at another level with most of the other schools in the state, but those three mentioned above are the cream.
And soundly got beat.Can’t say that when they lost to Ed’s
Seems like Hoban is really focused on getting Mr Football…What about the Massillon pass game ? As of now it’s not going to be a constant 20mph wind game.Cream rises to the top. Hoban by 2-3 scores. Sperling goes for 200+ and 4 scores and is named Mr football. Hoban D shuts down the run game.
If they can get past kings. There's no gimmes at this pointMassillon 24-21
TCC will be a good game vs winner of this game
Willoughby SouthThere has been talk about Massillon playing in an easy region. Could not the same be said for Hoban? I am curious what other people think. Would you consider the Federal league a stronger league than the Suburban National league?
As Sperling should. And should’ve been considered last year and same can be said about Chip.Seems like Hoban is really focused on getting Mr Football…What about the Massillon pass game ? As of now it’s not going to be a constant 20mph wind game.
If these 2 teams flipped regions they still would be playing next week/ they are 2 of the 4 best D2 teams in the state.Willoughby South
Barberton
St V
Hudson
I wouldn’t exactly call that murderers row. But most of that talk comes from people that just hate everything about Massillon.
St Ed’s would highly disagree lolSome might tell you Hoban is the best high school team in the state
Drew Pasteur’s rankings had 5 of the Top 10 teams in D2 coming from Region 5. Region 7 only had Massillon in the Top 10. Lake would be next at #13.There has been talk about Massillon playing in an easy region. Could not the same be said for Hoban? I am curious what other people think.

St Ed’s dominated Hoban on the field when they played.St Ed’s would highly disagree lol
Weather report looks to be above freezing and downtown Akron shouldn’t be a wind tunnel like Byers fieldI think this will be a good game. Sperling is great but Massillon’s D is the best I’ve seen since 2005. Massillon hasn’t had to load the box to stop the run either so Long won’t have an easy time throwing over the top. Yards will be tougher for Hartson against Hobans front 7 so Moore is going to finally have to open the playbook a little more. Slaughter will have to have a good game like he did vs St Ed’s.
This should be a good one

Massillon threw for 295 yds against Ed’s and will have to somewhat duplicate that performance against Hoban.Can Massillon pass? If so, I think they can win. If not, Hoban wins. I know nothing about Massillon but they did beat St. Eds and Eds is the probably the best team in Ohio so they clearly have a chance. It sounds like it will be a low scoring game so I will take Hoban 24-16.
