While Massillon is fading into obscurity. One question though how has big brother McKinley been able to win 3 titles? You all can't beat the public schools to make it to the privates.

  
  
  Sorry, when someone resorts to name calling, they're getting frustrated.
  
  Yeah, one of the smallest DI schools in the state playing in 4 semi finals in the past decade, losing a state title game to a PAROCHIAL school TWICE our size by 7 pts....And we're "fading into obscurity."
  
  Again fellas, look at the big picture. Massillon has made it deep enough, I would say more than most.
  
  State Semi's in

  State Title game in

  Yeah, no success there. If we didn't beat publics to get there, (and a few parochials too), who did we beat?

  I find it funny that shitty parochial schools are not crying about any sort of unfair advantage. I'll use skank's post as an example. If students from all of those areas are in fact going to St. Ed's, that means they are taking students away from, not only public schools in those areas, but private schools as well. Skank complains a lot about St. X and Moeller. If they are taking all these students, that means that it is also adversely affecting schools like Purcell Marian and Roger Bacon. Yet, you don't ever hear of those schools complaining about an unfair advantage that X and Moeller have. Steubenville Central Catholic people don't cry that the better football players go to Steubenville. St. Peter Chanel fans aren't claiming that the other Cleveland area private schools have some crazy advantage. So why is it that it's just the public schools that never win anything the most vocal about it? Wouldn't reason suggest that the private schools that never win anything...who are also losing students to these big bad private schools stealing any and all students available...also be upset about this? Yet, they aren't.

  I agree. Most of the people calling for a separation don't agree that a State Title is something that not everyone should experience. Everyone should get a blue ribbon. Everyone is a winner. It's ridiculous.

  Skank just posted Massillons tournament history and he even made the comment that it is better than most. It is an impressive history to say the least. But since there isn't a title in Massillon won on the field. He wants to remove the private schools so that the path is easier.

  That's quite a reach there sherm. They'll probably just turn around and steal them away from someone else.

  Nope, there is a difference in entitlement and wanting a fair, level playing field.

  It is a entitlement mentality, but it's more so a redistribution of wealth that skank is seeking. You know take from the great programs and give to the not so great programs.

  Life isn't fair. What are you all teaching those kids in Massillon.

  Quite a stretch? Seriously? How is it a stretch?
  
  If what you posted is true...which you clearly believe to be so because you have posted information for three different private schools...then it would mean the big D1 private schools are not only "stealing" players from public schools in the area, but also other smaller private schools in the area. Yet, down here in Cincinnati, I never hear Roger Bacon fans, or Purcell Marian fans, complain that things aren't fair. There are a number of cases where the public schools in town is better than the private school, like Steubenville and Bellaire. I have never heard a fan of Tuscarawas Central Catholic complain that it isn't fair that they would have to go through Delphos St. John's to get a shot at the title.
  
  So why do you think that is skank? Why is it just the public school fans that have such a problem with the current set up? Shouldn't the private schools that are also losing students to these big bad D1 private schools be just as upset? Please explain how this is a stretch. I'd LOVE to hear it...

  The debate here does seem to be more about entitlement/nonentitlement than it does public/private. I am a public school guy, but I don't believe in the idea that everyone should be given a trophy. Massillon was awarded many mythical titles, so I imagine that is part of the reason that skank feels that they should still be given titles. They were spoiled in the era when people would just guess who was the best instead of actually having to earn titles.

  It wouldn't be stealing. They are kids. They are not objects that are owned.

  Skank you'll be happy to know that they may add a 7th division splitting D1 into two divisions. It was discussed today at the meeting.

  Skank won't be happy until they add enough divisions so Massillon can finally win a title. Of course that means they may have to be in their own division. There's an idea, let everything status quo and put Massillon in a division by themselves.

  So let me get this straight. If you believe that the runner up trophy is "deep enough" I know why you guys lose. At Mooney it's not good enough to just get there you have to win. The Tigers should try it some time.

  Where did I say it was, "deep enough"? You quoted me as saying it was, deep enough", where did I say that?
  
  My point was that it's far from obscurity, especially having 500 some boys, playing a school that has 1100 some. But you knew that, didn't you?
  
  You're right, it's not good enough at Mooney, and it shouldn't be at Ursuline either....Division I schools playing so low in division HAD BETTER win it more than they lose it. But you know THAT too, don't you?
