You know Massillon is complaining on here about the privates, yet you see no one from the other public school in DII who had to play Massillon complaining about the Massillon advantage over them with their open enrollment and high competitive balance number of 56. Warren Harding CB number is 4, Perry' is 15, and Avon CB is 0.

Public vs Private debate rages in while I think we had 6 public school state champs and 1 Private? CB seems to have done its job. Unfortunately for Massillon and all of the other D2 teams it has moved Lasalle, Hoban and TCC into that division for awhile. Tigers had their best team, home field advantage and all of the momentum and the players didn’t make the plays. 2 fumbles was the difference. Ironically 1 by the ST V’s best player and D1 recruit who magically shows up his senior year at Massillon. Don’t want to hear the public/private argument from Massillon. Doesn’t apply.

I disagree. Massillon doesn't have the freedom to have a billboard like this....

5219


I talked to a LaSalle parent last night...she was quite unhappy with this sign and the school "putting football before academics."
 
When you enter Massillon, there is a sign Welcome to Massillon and right underneath it a sign with the Tiger logo and the words Home of the Tigers 24 Time State Football Champions. What does that tell you about Massillon. It's all about Football, Football, Football

Makes you wonder if they'll change the sign to 25 to reflect another AP champion.

If La Salle's billboard is OK with the OHSAA

That Massillon picture was from 2013. I think they got scolded for it. The LaSalle billboard is definitely not OK.

Makes me wonder about a few schools who have state champion banners attatched to the building, is this not a form of a "billboard".

It is okay, since as Mickey posted, LaSalle has numerous billboards around town...featuring all facets of the school curriculum. There's even a couple of students doing service work.

Every GCL school in town (boys and girls) has billboards.
 
There is only one Catholic school in Tucson, co-ed BTW, and every night before the national news comes on, they have a 30 second ad extolling the virtues of the school.
 
What school?

I would like to know where you see the privates report cards because I can not find anything. Where is the accountability that the privates are increasing value added scores higher than publics are? I am a teacher at an inner city high school, I can promise you our test scores aren't lower than the cities privates because are teachers are less skilled or are lazy. This is a different world than walking the halls of a private school.
