maybe he's comfortable (and well taken care of) there.

I hope he is. If he’s lacking for anything, please PM me

keno is a good dude

So that WAS his hat and trench coat roaming the sidelines. Classic Keno.

No. The new argument is going to be over 1 vs 25.

Then everyone arguing 1 also has to be willing to take away Ohio State’s pre BCS titles.

Works for me

Hoban's head coach gift-wrapped that title for Massillon.

You don’t like gifts?

 

[OH-Fan-2015]

In all honesty I hope Coach Moore and the Tigers continue to win. I do troll, but on a serious note; hopefully this is something that continues for the Tigers of Massillon.

Impressive defense yesterday by the Tigers. Congrats to the long suffering fans who have come so close so many times. First in the playoff era. Man that's special

Far as I'm concerned, the "paper tigers" crap is over. I know said it a few times while I was arguing with Massillon fans in the past. But no more. They won it all on the field. There isn't $h** anyone can really say to them now except champions.

Time for a repeat!

 

[OH-Fan-2015]

What key players return next year?

 

[IBleedOrange]

I'm actually a little disappointed.

 

[jtigerjoe]

Do Massillon fans root for Eds because it would make them the D2 champ that beat the D1 champ, or do they root for the public over the private ?No, they are from ne ohio, and a school we play. Why would we root for Sprigfield? They used to cry about Massillon being named the state champs until we played them and shut them upl

Every freshman, sophomore, and junior.

Thanks! Hoping one for the Cardinals isn't too far behind! Nothing but respect for the Mentor program!

TV announcer said Massilon sold 14,000 presale tickets. It sure looked like it. Their side was packed.

Was this special to the championship game? The rest of the playoffs pre-sale was limited to online.

 

[Reddengineer]

Congratulations to the Tigers. I had never been in the crowd devaluing pre-playoff championships, you won what there was to win. That being said, glad you did dismount that monkey off the bus. Enjoy.

 

[hsfan216]

Congrats to Coach Moore on his 17-0 season!

 

[Mac 201645865]

I remember when Eli Moore was a water boy at Minster when his Dad Coached

Having the most wins in Ohio football history should be celebrated. I'm glad they won their first State championship. This should be celebrated as well. Congrats Tigers.

It was all online. You pick what school when you buy a ticket.

 

[fish82]

Eds because of ORB.

Same. His tantrums are awesome.

Ncaa acknowledges poll titles, OHSAA does not. That's the difference.

 

[Levi]

Massillon both the fans and the players I'll just leave this here for you:

Also Congrats!

 

[Maxie]

Ncaa acknowledges poll titles, OHSAA does not. That's the difference.

Do you represent the OHSAA? The OHSAA does acknowledge pre-playoff titles, especially the ones from the AP from 1947-71. Look at their website, in the “Early Ohio High School State Championship,” section. Are you another of those Massillon haters?

 

[Grepneff4545Bubba]

Congrats Tigers!!! Enjoy it while you can!!!

 

[John Lee Pettimore]

Every freshman, sophomore, and junior.

Not necessarily.

 

[Maple_City_Fan]

I bet they are glad they did. They could have stayed at Copley and went 3-8 or 4-7 and finished their high school careers like that.

You're a respected poster, so I find it difficult to believe 2 players very instrumental in 16-0 and a Title cannot do better than that at Copley

 

[Mtowntiger0789]

Congratulations to Massillon on a heck of a season. They will finish nationally ranked top 10 I would think.

We already are

I told my 8 year old son last night that he'd remember this night for the rest of his life
