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 openening for the pole vault, and on Jan 13, 1996 in Pocatello, she set an indoor American record, 12 11 3/4 , her first of many to come. <br>The following year was the Olympics, and even though the women s pole vault was not yet approved as an Olympic event, Dragila was able to participate in the Trials on April 20 in Lawrence, Kansas. She really put on a show, setting an American record of 13 6 1/2 . Although she didn t get to compete in the Olympics, she did get to compete in the European circuit that summer. The following year she continued her steady progress and won the World Indoor Championships with a mark of 14 5 1/4 , a vault that tied the world record.<br>To fulfill her potential and achieve her goal of winning the Olympics, Dragila decided to stay in Pocatello to train under Nielsen and work towards a masters degree in health education at ISU. She also works as an assistant track coach, training the vaulters and heptathletes. Her husband, Brent, is also an ISU student, majored in criminal justice and sociology.<br>One of her major competitors is Emma George of Australia, a former circus acrobat, who is the current world record holder at 15 1 1/4 . With the Olympics being held in George s home country, Dragila knows she needs to work even harder to bring home the gold. To win it, she says it will probable take vaulting as high as 16 feet, which she thinks is definitely within her reach by then.<br><br> <br>Anything <br>You Can Do. . . .<br><br>Just as Dragila s vaulting ability has improved, so has the popularity of the event.  I had heard that high school girls were starting to do it in California, and a couple states were trying to push it. She also heard that many athletes were considering going to court about it because the schools thought they couldn t afford the sport and the injury factor was too high.  But the gals thought,  Hey the guys are doing it, why can t
