2 of those drops would have been TDs, the other would've gained a lot of yards. But that's fine, the drops didn't hurt them at all.
Again, Massillon has one hell of a defense, and hopefully they pull it out next week.

No they wouldn’t have, there were Tigers right there.
Anderson had a 57 game streak of scoring 10 + and a 45 game streak of 20 + Buh bye

I now see why everyone hates Massillon fans so much.
The whole week while everyone was saying they'd win, it was woah is me, why are we the underdog.
Now it's over the top gloating like a bunch of whiny kids.
You are like the super hot chick that everyone hates because she is a to everyone and cries nonstop about not being able to hold onto a dude or why she has no friends.
Seriously, I used to think Elder had the worst fans, now I know better.

We’re not gloating, you’re just saying things that are obviously false.

Having watched the second half of the Hoban game, I’d have to say your guys look better. I hope they get it done.

Ok, simple math. The final is 55-21. Same result, running clock.

How about the Tiger 2s and 3s coming in and laying the smack down. Loved seeing Slaughter break one off.

Didn't say it wouldn't have been a different result.

I mean, if we’re going to play what-ifs, Tigers dropped 2 balls in the EZ or goal line, so yeah, same result.
This is a game where as a Yappi poster, you gotta just walk away. Ya got shellacked.

Andersons first drive was what most people expected the game to be like. Massillon adjusted and shut it down. You could tell Andersons qb wasn’t used to that pressure. He was shook. Massillons D line was the difference maker. Getting pressure rushing 3 is a luxury nearly no high school has. But hats off to Massillon secondary tackling in space too. They definitely did their job. Whether or not the drops resulted in less scores is kinda a moot point. Those drops had a lot to do with how physical Massillon was playing them. They heard foot steps all night which led to drops. That’s just part of football. Massillon dominated.

Says the guy saying if they didn’t drop passes they would have scored 28 etc.
Anderson was horrible and it showed tonight the game is over and we are on to the next.
Buh bye

You could tell he hadn’t had to throw the ball away all season. He really needed that skill tonight.
Anderson could have benefitted from dropping tempo earlier, too. They gave the Tigers too many chances to score when they weren’t.

Agreed, seemed to me they looked scared of being shellacked once they caught the ball.....

That really was a spectacle. Expected decent pressure, but not THAT. In a semifinal, just wow.

Things work until they don't. If you're a one-trick pony and the horse gets shot...
Ohh now 1 maybe, but I did not see the speed by Anderson to guarantee a score on any play! They had really nice athletic tight ends though. I would say this Massillon faced some legit QBs this year. GA, DE, then DC. All posed issues at times and prepared the D!

Gotta give Moore a lot of credit for the dimension the Tigers have. (And the men for executing.) We have had to play a lot of different types of game this year. And they’ve excelled at all of them.
Really nice hitting that hole in the zone for the first down in the 2Q(?). Don’t see a ton of that, but clearly coaches saw it there and dialed it up when needed.

Kinda happy for some of Anderson’s dropped passes, because a hit on a defenseless was surely coming the way they were slinging them right where our backs/safeties were lurking. And I could totally see a ref calling that—seen that movie before.
Yes, tight, mostly penalty-free game. The pass interference on the sideline was probably a smart play. Looked a little like a push-off before the jersey grab, but I’d need to see the replay.
A little surprised they didn’t call us for PI on the almost TD pass to the goal line. A lot going on there seemingly long before the ball dropped in.

I can see a version of this game that was closer for sure. Two home run balls by Massillon to start the game wouldn't happen every time these teams meet. However they did and the game got away from a Anderson Then they lost some 4th down gambles that had paid off all year.
Props to Anderson for a good year. The offense looked cool and I could see why it's successful.
I think the Massillon coaches did a great job of scouting Anderson and the kids executed.

Yeah that was cool... And how they pace the offense as well. Coach has them run a lot of gasses apparently.. Cardio!
To run that offense like that at this level and not have penalties was impressive.

3rd quarter for the 40th point. 55 total points. Sounds about right. Finish your title run next weekend, Tigers.

That was downright surgical wasn’t it? The book odds for holding them scoreless after that td was probably 99:1. Wow. This D is tough, and smart. Keep it going Tigers! One more!

No. Absolutely Noone thought Anderson's D could stop Massillon.Bs, go back and read all the posts. Anderson was going to score all these points etc…. Massillon’s defense is the real deal. Nobody thought we could stop them. We dominated them without our best defensive player. But ok bro. Nothing else to say. Go Tigers!
