WHBC recently announced its all-county team and six Tigers received honors.  The group was selected by vote of the area coaches.  Da’One Owens was also named MVP.

The Massillon all-county players include Nolan Davenport and Dorian Pringle, repeat honorees from 2022, and first-timers Chase Bond, Tyler Hackenbracht, Brady Jones and Mike Wright Jr.  Three seniors and three juniors.  Massillon Head Coach Nate Moore was very proud to acknowledge these players at the Booster Club meeting.  It is unfortunate that just six from Massillon received this honor, since at least ten others off this national Top 15 team deserve recognition.
