A big thank you to Bill Dorman for leading the effort to secure a new scoreboard. Definitely has the “wow” factor.

Kyshad Mack, Tyree Broyles and Tre’van Morgan were the guest co-captains. Each spoke about the St. Vincent game and this week’s opponent, Canton GlenOak.
The guest coach was Jason Jarvis. He noted that the special teams played very well, especially during the kickoff return by Broyles for a touchdown. The return is something he anticipated based on the Irish scouting report. Jarvis applauded Magnus Haines for his directional punts.
Jarvis summed up the defensive effort by saying the players were “fast, physical and hungry.”
Head Coach Nate Moore stated that “last Friday’s game was a “good victory against a good opponent. But this week we’re starting over. I’m proud of the kids. The kids played hard. It was a good performance.”
Following the film review, Coach Jarvis mentioned that the Massillon defense is the same as last year. Only this year the players are more disciplined. Everybody is where they need to be when they need to be. “Our kids are experienced,” he said. The defense played so well that St. Vincent’s star running back, Terrence Keyes, who gained 198 yards last year, was held to just 10 yards in 11 carries, the longest run being just four yards.
Coach Moore gave the scouting report for GlenOak, this week’s opponent. He said that quarterback, Kindel Richardson is their best player. Although considered an average passer, he is very dangerous running the ball. They have a couple of good receivers with speed, who will get their opportunities in this big-play offense. Look for lots of empty set formations. The defense has converted from a 3-4 underfront to odd stack 3-3. Seven players go both ways and up to eight sophomores see action.
