Book excerpt: Award-winning journalist David Lee Morgan Jr.,, who spent the 2019 season as an assistant coach for the Massillon Tigers, one of the oldest and most storied high school football programs in the country, provides an up-close-and-personal look at the season, which starts with so much promise and ends with the agony of another high-stakes defeat. The Massillon Washington High School football program isn’t a typical high school football program. It’s a ministry of football with the first season dating back to 1894. In this small, midwestern Ohio rustbelt town, the community has rallied around this team every Friday at historic Paul Brown Tiger Stadium (capacity 16,000) for decades. The school has produced numerous NFL standouts, including coaching legend and Hall of Famer Paul Brown. The Massillon support- locally and nationwide- is unrivaled and is arguably one of the most recognizable and successful high school football programs in the country.
