  McKinley is coming off of a blow out of Boardman(1-8). Many seniors got to play on senior night here. Massillon is coming off of another tough loss in which they came back to have a chance to win. Common opponents are Perry(0-9) and GlenOak(4-5). Massillon took 3 overtimes to put away the Golden Eagles and McKinley need a Fake Field Goal as time expired to beat them. Other than that Massillon seems to have had the more difficult road schedule wise to get to week 10. Massillon also is more than likely playing for their playoff spot in week 10. McKinley has already clinched a home game in the first round of the playoffs! Should be a hard fought game. The biggest factor may be can Massillon contagion Eric Glover-Williams, and can the McKinley CB's cover the Massillon receivers while getting pressure on Freshman Danny Clark.
  
  Go McKinley BEAT Massillon!!!

  Will there be tickets left to be sold at the gate on gameday? I will not be able to get over that way to purchase pre-sale so I was just curious...

  Win or go home for the Tigers.
  
  10-0 on the line for the pups.
  
  Lots on the line. Should make for a classic.

  Old R...I had a ticket to the game I could've "sold" to at cost as I wound up having to work today. You should have said something on the Orrville thread!

  The Tigers continue to dominate this series as we are now 15 games over the .500 mark. Many McKinley fans at the game said that during this month of Thanksgiving, they are thankful that 1) They no longer have to play Massillon twice in a season with the new divisional format and 2) Fitch left the Federal League.
  
  Any McKinley fans willing to make a bet about which of our teams make a deeper playoff run?

  Thank you! Good luck to Fitch in the playoffs as well. I see that you finished #2 in the AP poll. While the goal of every program in the state is to win AP titles, the playoff titles are a nice consolation prize.

  One of the most overrated programs of all time! Drop to D2 and still can't get it done

  BTW, Massillon now claims 24 State Titles. They picked up two more during this past off season.

  I was at the game last night. Went to the game as a neutral observer, but as I was exposed to Massillon fans, I ended up rooting for Highland.
