There's no high school football program in Ohio like the Massillon Tigers.
And if things break their way the rest of the way in the OHSAA playoffs, they might be able to say there's none in the country like Massillon.
The Tigers are within a win of being the all-time winningest high school football program in the country.

Valdosta and Massillon are both still playing, so the top of this chart could see a few more wins on it at least.
Massillon has been playing football since 1891. The Tigers have won 25 state championships and nine national titles.
They were the coaching start for the legendary Paul Brown.
The Tigers most recently won the 2023 state championship over Akron Archbishop Hoban by a 7-2 score. It was their first state title in Ohio's playoff era, having been the dominant team of the state's poll era.
Next up for Massillon in the Division II Region 7 regional final is Big Walnut, which ended Massillon's season a year ago by a 14-7 score.
A chance at revenge and a chance to move up the nation's win charts is all on the table here.
