Please head back to your safe haven Massillon thread where you can bask in all your glory and you dont have to worry about anyone saying anything negative about Massillon or you get blocked from the thread. There are state champion programs talking football over here.
Good luck on Friday. I plan on tuning in to the live stream.
Massillon to much for Hoban this year. Way to much!!! Thats facts. Now another match up with St. Eds be another story. Eds is healthy. Just knocked off Moeller.
Is Moeller supposed to be good? I see they lost to too many teams from out of state. IMO that would make them not very good. Getting blown out at home vs Ben Davis is just a terrible look.
They look to be improved. They may want to avoid Indiana for a while
You do know that Massillon is the only school in the state that is getting almost 9k fans per game in a stadium that seats 16,000. What is the name of St Ed's stadium? How many fans per game does Hoban bring? Massillon has 3000k season ticket holders. More than any other school in the state and more than The University of Akron, Toledo and Kent State. I'm new here, and this is only my 2nd post but felt the need to reply to you. Get a life.
I think that Hoban fans will take a dynastic run of real life championships over having the most season ticket holders and banners from the 1940s and '50s in their trophy cases. We get it, football is life down there, hooray for your fan support, but I find it quite ironic that someone that's as invested in high school football can tell someone else to get a life. What some consider passionate loyalty, a lot of others find it to be obnoxiously off putting and annoying. I'm from Akron, I want to see Hoban win, although I think that Massillon is the best team in the state this year. I'd love to see them finally win one, but I can't root for them because of some of their fans. They're unbearable without having won it all, I can't imagine what they'll be like when they do. How my brother has worked down there for almost 25 years without snapping on someone is beyond me.
I'm going to Riverside vs. Chardon. I have no dog in any fight. I live in Erie, PA and have all my life.
I think your selling Hoban short. Massillon may beat them but they are way too much for them. I don't think so. I've seen both teams play. They are both really talented and good.
I never knew Indiana to historically have great high school football....hoops yes....but football?
I think the 2020 Hoban beatdown of Eds is still fresh in Lombardo's mind. That was a very embarrassing game for Eds. And I'm also sure Tyrrell isn't very happy about the last two years. Eds has something to prove and Hoban has their perfect season to lose. So I do think we are going to see a competitive game tomorrow.
The other Holy Cross school in the area is Gilmour, which makes Eds and Hoban both look like the forgotten stepchild.
Seriously Idk if it is ever good to lose, but when you do, you make the most of it I guess.
They are above average and have improved throughout the season. Their defense struggles early in the films I saw, but they have the best RB in the state.
Football in Indiana means typically schools in the Indianapolis area. There are some outliers such as East Central, a couple of Ft. Wayne schools, Penn, etc. the primary difference between the two states is school size. Schools in the Public conferences around Indy are huge. Most in the 3-5000 student range. East Central is only a 4A school in Indiana but would be 1A in Ohio and this year in particular would make a very good showing in that class. The privates in the Indy area such as Cathedral, Roncalli, Bishop Chatard, Lutheran, etc. typically all punch WAY above their weight class and schedule accordingly.
Yep once those kids get out there and start hitting, the week is going to be irrelevant. Just elite competition and thats what its all about
Cougar
Sure they’re above average but not elite by any means. You just cannot lose to teams from Indiana and EVER be considered a TOP Ohio team. At least St Ed’s blew out Indianas best team to start the season.
Go awaySmoove think it may matter for how many peoples attend the game. IT allow Massillon MO' MONEY to pay those officials.....
Smoove love to get into Tiger-fans paws with Smoove's commentations. Smoove also from Summit County-region and like Summit to win championships, BUT want to see great games along the trail. Should Mass and Hoban meet up, which Smoove believes it an inevitabilitation, it might be EPIC and Smoove can set up a Concessionation Stand servin' some Adult Beverations and we can all just have a big ol' GOOD TIME!!
Also, Smoove believe Tigerbeat just comin' around to ruffle some panties. In the infamous words of Mr. T: "I pity the Fool!..." Well, Smoove pitifies the fool that believe those commentations. And e'erone know that don't matter how many peeps show up for Massillon game, they gonna play hard and the officals get paid and fed WELL!!!!
Not if it's the QB running the ball.
Not sure about stats but the young QB has thrown successfully. Definitely can pull it down and run if needed. WR cook has D1 offers but they haven't had to throw too much. I agree they will need to throw enough to keep Ed's honest but weather may prevent that from happening. Hoban is probably better defensively against the pass or run than Ed's but the Ed's QB will be the difference. If he is able to play at 100% and runt the RPO it could be a long evening for the Knights.
