While I'd love to go, I just can't walk that stadium with my asthma and back pain. The accessibility is far too inadequate along with some of their policies (not allowed to exit the stadium at half time for a smoke and get back in after without buying a new ticket, etc).
I think it will be a very close game for the first half. Hoban will most likely score first on a lucky break. Massillon will then answer pretty quickly. Hoban will capitalize on Massillon screwing up with either a series of several penalties, a turnover, or something along those lines and end up with a second TD and their FG kick blocked. Massillon will then eventually get the 2nd touchdown in the 2nd quarter just before halftime to walk off the field with a 14-13 lead. The 3rd quarter will likely be scoreless for Hoban but Massillon will score one near the end of the 3rd quarter. And then finally, half way through the 4th quarter we'll likely see a final score by Massillon. Final score will be 28-13 Massillon.
I swear if that is how it goes down, I'm playing the lottery next week.
Regardless of how it goes down, I can only see Massillon winning this. Earlier in the season I've doubted Massillon's pass defense. But the way they quickly adapted and pulled out the stops on Anderson, I see differently. We're looking at an all time greatest Massillon defense along with the usual great offense with some extra added on that we've never really had before. For the very first time that I've seen, every single Massillon player on that field on either side of the ball has been playing at the very top of their game and peaking at the right time. I can see the chemistry is there with the entire team, the fire, the heart, the passion, the effort, the teamplay, the speed, the athleticism, and the strength. It's ALL there in all of them like never before. I've never seen this level before. Massillon is definitely 100%, without a doubt, winning this game.
