Massillon, OHIO - In the first ever game between the Massillon Tigers and Elkhart Lions, coming from Indiana, Massillon rolled to their 4th victory of the season with a score of 55-0. Most of those points came in the first half with Massillon scoring 21 in the 1st quarter and 27 in the 2nd quarter, and a final 7 points in the 4th quarter.
Massillon had a very balanced offense with 258 yards rushing and 199 yards passing, while Elkhart just couldn't get their offense going, only rushing for 24 yards and passing for 77 yards. Massillon's defense looked pretty good too and deserves a lot of credit for keeping Elkhart from scoring.
Aside from the game itself, we should not forget the awesome show by the Massillon Tiger Swing Band that celebrated its 85th anniversary. The Massillon Tiger Swing Band performed alongside more than 200 alumni members from all decades as recent as 2020s and as far back as the 1960s, with 2 of those alumni members being from the class of 1967. They put on a wonderful halftime show and many of the returning alumni members seemed to love it, having smiles on their faces most of the time.
Overall, it was yet another great week for Massillon to push their season record to 4-0 as they prepare to host an undefeated 4-0 St. Edward Eagles next Friday. Massillon and St Edward have faced each other 8 other times and are currently tied with a 4-4 series record. Massillon won the previous year with a score of 31-28 and lost in 2020 with a score of 23-24 and 2021 with a score of 18-35.
