Noteworthy Items: (1) The players accomplished a preseason commitment of playing in 15 games, finishing the year as the Division II state runner-up with a loss to now 4-time defending state champ Akron Hoban.  The previous week, they avenged a 2017 loss to Cincinnati Winton Woods with a 41-20 victory.  (2) It was the fourth highest scoring team per game in Massillon history.  This included 670 points and 93 touchdowns, with both marks establishing new single-season scoring records.  There was a record-setting 101 points scored against Sun Valley, Pennsylvania.  The Tigers also won 14 games in a row and set a new team record with 14 wins in a single season.  (3) Massillon came from behind in a highly charged game to defeat national power East St. Louis, Illinois, 46-40.  (4) In a preseason scrimmage Massillon bested Lakewood St. Edward, a team that ultimately captured the Division 1 state title.  (5) Running back Jamir Thomas set career records for rushing attempts, rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, all-purpose yards and total points.  He also tied the record for total touchdowns scored.  An injury in the state semifinal game prevented him from setting a new single-season rushing mark.  (6) A senior dominated team, Massillon’s players landed no less than nine college scholarships.  (7) The Massillon JV team finished 9-0, providing the seed for a successful run in 2019.  The Tigers benefit with the return of a 2-year starter at both quarterback and inside linebacker (leading tackler in 2018).
