This season is unfolding alot like last season for the Tigers, finishing 7-3, ending the reg sea, with a multiple td loss to rival McKinley, the community of Massillon somewhat down and doubtful of hope for the playoffs. Massillon went on a mini-run and found themselves tied at 17 with Cleveland Glenville midway through the 4th qt, in the state semi-final game. Massillon has undoubtably more talent than they did last year at the skill position, but where they "lack" is at the interior on both sides of the ball. Therin lies the problem. All season long, the running game has been a work in progress, (10 weeks is a little too long to have not found some answers), which in turn, hurts the more than capable passing game. On the other side of the ball our safetys are making way to many tackles, and when we DO hit a ballcarrier at or near the line of scrimmage, we seem to forget to wrap our arms, which is where the safetys enter the picture. At times there have been some questionable play calling. Our starting QB is a Sophomore with, I believe 7 starts to his credit. I could go on, but lets get right to it. The Tigers keep it close for 2 and a half quarters....But then.
Whitmer 35
Tigers 20
