buckeyemike Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Massillon Tigers to play for state title. If you have ever seen the well-made documentary "Go Tigers!" a few years back about the Massillon Tigers of Massillon Washington High School, you will know what this means to the town of 30,000, sixty miles south of Cleveland and seven miles west of Canton. The town is blue-collar, and has suffered with closures in recent years, especially in the steel industry. The point of pride, now more than ever, seems to be the Tigers. How many high school fields have a video scoreboard? How many towns put high school athletes first and foremost? The Tigers play Cincinnati St. Xavier for the state Division I (big-school) title in Canton Saturday night. If Massillon wins, it's their first state title since 1970 and the first under the playoff system Ohio has had in place since the early 1970's.
