I come off as a pompous jerk to you because I use reason and logic to back claims. You obviously aren't used to that. Things in life are not so cut and dry despite how badly you wish they were.Rocket08 wrote:Once again, just because you disagree with something, does not that the point is without merit.

The majority of their titles were in the 40's and 50's when they won 18 of their 22. They only won 4 in the 60's and 70's combined. They only won in 70 b/c they had an exception class of athletes. Same reason for when they make it to the title games in the 70's-today.. only when they have an exceptional class. The population decline and job loss started in the 60's. It wasn't the booming post WWII steel town of the 40's and 50's anymore.Rocket08 wrote:

It's also an excellent point that Massillon won bunches of titles on paper, but in nearly 40 years of OHSAA playoffs couldn't win just 1 on the field.
You claim a title in 1970. The playoffs started in 1972. The city didn't fade away in 2 years
It's an interesting point that Massillon has never won a State Championship on the field. Like it or not
It's not an interesting point b/c its two different eras.. lets try to use our brain through the rest of this thread shall we?
The first line of my original post stated that these titles occurred over 40 years ago, and in a couple of cases close to 90 years ago. Who really cares except a bunch of old All American Conference guys with 1 foot in the grave and Massillon residents with nothing else to talk about?
During your lifetime, Massillon hasn't won a thing. No matter how loud you try to dismiss the messenger, the message remains: NO TITLES ON THE FIELD, EVER, NEVER
