In Massillon, high school football is a way of life. They make no excuses for it. They totally love it and are dedicated to it. Over the years, high school football has transformed this typical industrial city into something very special - something present and future generations will not let be forgotten. This small football community has been credited with a legacy which includes 9 national championships (National Sports News Service), 22 state titles, 23 professional players, and 11 major college All-Americans. A walk along the shady tree-lined streets of the city reveals the full force of the Massillon tradition. Windows in barber shops and drug stores are adorned with high school schedules, pennants, and team action photos. Some of the merchants have even created elaborate window displays around their favorite players. The entire town appears to be painted orange and black - even fire hydrants have Tiger stripes. Crosswalks and mailboxes would probably be painted orange, too, if it were allowed. The proprietors in town explain it this way - Some poor guy might work eight hours a day down the street at the steel mill and be a nobody, but for ten weeks every fall he s a king because he s from Massillon.<br><br>The dream of every young boy in town is to become a varsity Tiger player. Junior high school is the gateway to Tigerdom, three years as demanding as any aboriginal society s rites of passage. The spuriously motivated, physically inept and psychologically unprepared are weeded out before they leave Lorin Andrews or Longfellow Junior High, where both equip three separate teams, hire three separate head coaches, and play an eight game schedule. Coaches come from all over to try and capture the  Massillon mystique . They see a hundred sixty-five pound Massillon kid hit like a two-hundred-five pounder and there is no explanation for it; it can t be forty pounds of heart. Tiger football players are looked up to as heroes by younger children and as role models for grade school children. Being a part of the team means being a part of the best high school football has to offer. Massillon will live forever as the high school football capital of the world. Now you know the full story behind burying those Pennies In the End Zone......................................q<br><br>Just as a sidenote, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is only about a five minute drive to nearby Canton. <br>For a football enthusiast, you are <br>in heaven.<br><br>SIDE STORY: THE NFL HALL OF FAME<br><br>Minutes from Massilon is another big-time high school football town--Canton, Ohio. City leaders in Canton won site approval for the Hall of Fame from the National Football League in April of 1961. <br>Twenty-nine months later a sparkling, modern 19,000 square-foot two building Pro Football Hall of Fame was officially opened. On that day there were 17 inducted in the Hall s Charter class.<br><br>Since then, the Hall of Fame has become so popular that it has gone through three additional renovations beginning in 1971, then 1978 and most recently in 1995. It is now a massive 82,307 square foot facility. The most outstanding new attraction is the
