Northeast Ohio vs. America Showcase

[y2h]

They're not an all-star team. They're team that has some players who don't live within the attendance boundary. They're not stealing kids from other communities. Give it a rest

It's an All Star team. Unless you are naive enough to believe it's a coincidence they are a state power and the rest of the league is donkey dung. Guess all the talent in Cleveland just happens to live in the Glenville zone.

 

[Massillon#82]

So it's just a single Friday game and Saturday triple header?

Correct

 

[EaglePride01]

For all the hype the organizers have been building around this event, the slate of games that was posted, even if accurate, is really not that exciting. Massillon/Valdosta offers a cool historical aspect, but the rest are pretty blah.

 

[Massillon#82]

But you will be there…

 

[EaglePride01]

But you will be there…

Depends on the opponent. Quite frankly, if I’m making a trip to Massillon I’d much rather it be a Tigers/Eagles showdown.

We knew about that game I thought the rest was being announced?

Following the huge Kickoff Game announcement tomorrow, 1 game will be revealed at a special time each week, until we reach #4!!

That will happen as well.

Massillon vs. Valdosta (GA)
Glenville vs. Life Christian Academy (VA)
St. Edward vs. Center Grove (IN)
Archbishop Hoban vs. Clearwater Academy International (FL)

The last matchup is interesting, Catholic vs. Scientology.

Wrong…
Massillon vs Valdosta
Glenville vs IMG
Ed’s vs Aquinas Florida
Hoban vs St John Bosco

 

[MassillonTigers3]

Wrong…
Massillon vs Valdosta
Glenville vs IMG
Ed’s vs Aquinas Florida
Hoban vs St John Bosco

Now THAT is a slate of games

 

[EaglePride01]

Wrong…
Massillon vs Valdosta
Glenville vs IMG
Ed’s vs Aquinas Florida
Hoban vs St John Bosco

That lineup would be worth the hype.

 

[murphy13]

That lineup would be worth the hype.

While I would fly up for primarily Massillon vs Valdosta... I would stay for the rest.

 

[TIGER27]

I’d like to see Hoban or Ed’s play IMG rather than Glenville. While Glenville certainly is great in my opinion Hoban and Ed’s have separated themselves from everyone else in Ohio.

Not sure Hoban has.

 

[Spartacus1987]

Wrong…
Massillon vs Valdosta

I would make the 8 hour trip up to Ohio for those no doubt

Agreed, Eds or Moeller could hang around. Glenville would be a blood bath.

Gotta generate that web traffic.

Now THAT is a slate of games

Yep. Should be fun. But. The only thing I don't like about this trend is the pressure to stack teams and become "national programs". Slippery slope. Don't necessarily want for Ohio. At least those states normally differentiate public from private or trending that way.

 

[Sean5]

Is Valdosta any good? Their record the last 3 years is 8-3, 4-6, and 0-12.

They had to forfeit games. They are good. They have a freak show D lineman

The top tier teams are already stacking teams

Appears as if they have 4-5 guys on D that are freaks. Hopefully we can adjust to the overall team speed early in the game.

There is another level. Even beyond what we see here currently. But Hoban vs. Bosco & Ed vs. St. Thomas will offer a gauge but I'm picking the out of staters. I don't see Glenville competing with IMG either. Public power vs. public power of similar size are probably similar in most cases. (I think, but who knows).

 

[BigSack]

Valdosta, despite their recent records and results, are one of the greatest opponents to grace PBTS' hallowed turf. If Massillon is able to beat this Georgian juggernaut that's had three or more losses in six of their last seven seasons, the haters better quiet down

The most wins in Georgia and the Nation and the most titles in Georgia. Meanwhile you will be watching your team play…. Vanlue

If the haters would ever quiet down and not talk about us DAILY on this site that would mean Massillon has become just another irrelevant program and we all know that will NEVER happen !!!

Maybe Ed’s is already playing IMG?

When over half of the haters feast on little CCC....who cares if they quiet down or not.

Is this event Week One in the Ohio season? Are they doing it annually? Avon is open Week One of 2024 and I would love to see them in this event! What an awesome way to start a season for the teams involved!
