Wilson at Massillon

SITE: Paul Brown Tiger Stadium, 7:30 p.m.

RECORDS: Youngstown Wilson 1-5, Massillon 6-0.

LAST WEEK: Indian Creek 36, Woodrow Wilson 19; Massillon 29, St. Ignatius 26.

LAST MEETING: Massillon won 74-0 in 2002.
WHAT TO WATCH: Massillon is hoping there is no hangover after beating Ignatius for the first time in nine meetings. It was an important win, but head coach Tom Stacy wants his team to continue to focus on each week’s opponent. That won’t be easy this week because Wilson is struggling but showing signs of improvement. The Tigers are in a tough position on the schedule, coming off the Ignatius win and before Warren Harding. A perfect evening for Massillon would be to get out to a big lead early, then rest starters. Last week’s game took a toll on Massillon’s health a bit. Starting QB Bobby Huth may not play because of a concussion. That means senior QB Shawn Weisend will get another chance to impress Stacy, not that he needs it. Weisend scored the game-winning TD last week on a bootleg run. If Huth can play, Stacy would like to get him on the field because there are certain aspects of the offense that need correcting. RB Brian Gamble, who played most of the game going both ways and on special teams, could use a three-quarter break. Wilson will run out of the I-formation and spread offense. QB Gary Scott is the team’s best player, and Massillon’s defense will be in for a challenge keeping him bottled up. Wilson’s only win came two weeks ago against Campbell Memorial. Wilson’s 50 defense is suspect. Three teams have scored at least 30 points, and the leading tacklers are defensive backs.

Massillon catches its breath during 54-0 rout of Wilson

Saturday, October 8, 2005 <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>By TODD PORTER

MASSILLON
This wasn’t a tune-up. That requires grease, grime and sweat. This was spa and a facial compared to what Massillon went through a week ago.
The Tigers barely broke a sweat in Friday night’s 54-0 high school football beating of Youngstown Woodrow Wilson, which dressed 28 players. They did fix a few offensive blemishes, worked in a couple of new wrinkles and continued to build on last week’s win over St. Ignatius.
A week later, though, there was more drama during the Homecoming queen selection at halftime. For those keeping score at home, Caroline Fisher was crowned.
“I’m just glad this one is over,” Massillon head coach Tom Stacy said. “You’re always concerned coming off a week like last week, but we were able to rest some guys, work on things and get some things corrected.”
Massillon wasted no time getting started. Brian Gamble returned the opening kickoff 43 yards to the Redmen 40. Senior Shawn Weisend, starting in place of Bobby Huth (concussion) hit Trey Miller for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Steve Schott’s PAT made it 7-0.
Fullback Quentin Nicholson scored from the 1, and Gamble added two more touchdowns on the ground. The 6-foot, 190-pounder had 113 yards rushing on 12 carries at halftime. Gamble, a junior, has 851 yards this season. Reserve running back K.J. Herring finished with 72 yards on just eight carries and a touchdown.
“I wasn’t real happy with the way we came out. I thought we were a little flat,” Stacy said. “I thought we missed some easy completions, but Shawn did a nice job considering the weather.”
Weisend hit fullback Robert Morris for a 15-yard touchdown before halftime to make it 35-0.
The night wasn’t a total loss for Wilson. Against Massillon’s starters, the Redmen stopped the Tigers on fourth-and-1 from the Wilson 17. It was the only first-half drive in which Massillon didn’t score.
The Tigers’ run-and-shoot offense unveiled a little more. There was a nifty triple reverse run by Andrew Dailey that went for 17 yards and gave future opponents something to think about. This game may have been more about setting up games down the road.
“We threw in some things to get a look at it on video,” Stacy said. “And we put in some things we’ve been working on to make some people we play down the road prepare for it.”
Stacy used his second team and junior varsity players most of the second half. This may be Massillon’s last chance to catch its breath before finishing with Warren Harding, Eastlake North and McKinley.
“The schedule set up nice to get a little breather, but we all know Warren Harding is going to be a much better opponent next week,” tight end Brett Huffman said. “We’ve got to get back to the focus we had because we can’t make the mistakes we did tonight against Harding.”
Mistakes? A shutout, with 478 yards of offense to 65? “It’s hard to complain after a win like that,” Stacy said, “but we want to get better, so there are things to complain about.” Reach Repository sports writer Todd Porter at (330) 580-8340 or e-mail: [email protected].

Warren Harding at Massillon

SITE Paul Brown Tiger Stadium, 7:30 p.m.

RECORDS Warren Harding 2-5, Massillon 7-0.

LAST WEEK St. Ignatius 24, Harding 6; Massillon 54, Woodrow Wilson 0.

LAST MEETING Harding won 15-12 last year.
WHAT TO WATCH This Harding team is not a typical 2-5 team. Warren has lost to teams with a combined 27-8 record, and all of them are playoff contenders. Head coach Thom McDaniels is hoping his players begin to mature. Warren was in a position to compete better in four of those five losses, but failed to finish strong the second half. Raider TB Dan Herron (5-10, 188) is their best offensive player. “To this point in the season, he’s the best back we will have faced,” Massillon head coach Tom Stacy said. The Tigers have not tackled particularly well, and if that continues, this will be a concern. Massillon will rely on its front seven, specifically LBs Robert Morris and Paris McCall to bring Herron down. The Tiger interior defensive line will be in for a tough match against C Levi George (6-1, 288). McDaniels believes George is a Division I recruit. Massillon needs to mix its defenses, because QB Sidney Glover is good, but he can be confused. Containment is important. The Tiger offense will get starting QB Bobby Huth back. He has attempted 99 passes and not thrown an interception yet in his first season as the starter. Huth sat out last week because of a concussion. The key for the Tigers is RB-DB Brian Gamble. McDaniels said Gamble reminds him of former McKinley standout Mike Doss. Gamble is a two-way player, a big hitter on both sides, and he knows how to finish runs. Massillon has to protect Huth, because Harding can be beaten deep. Massillon moved slightly ahead of McKinley in the Associated Press poll to No. 3. A win should lock Massillon into a playoff spot and possibly a home game.

I got to see Massillon beat Warren Harding 13-0 tonight. Dailey played well. He blocked a punt near the goalline (and almost another), leading to the first points of the game. He also had quite a few tackles, and a few big hits. He didn't get in on as many plays because Harding rarely threw the ball and he didn't line up in the box much. He's already got a solid frame, with room to put on a fair amount of muscle still. For him still having a year and a half of high school football to go, I'm impressed.

Scott Heckel Massillon running back Brian Gamble catches a screen pass from quarterback Bobby Huth in the fourth quarter of a key third-down play. Gamble took the pass 31 yards for a first down at the Warren 17. He went on to score from the 8 and give Massillon a 13-0 win over Harding. It was the Tigers’ first win over Warren since 1989.

MASSILLON - Expectations are sometimes a dangerous thing in Massillon.
Until this year.

Having endured back-to-back 4-6 football seasons, the Tigers weren’t about to settle for more mediocrity. Massillon raised its record to 8-0 with a 13-0 win over Warren Harding in front of more than 9,000 fans Friday.

The Tigers hadn’t beaten Harding since 1989. Friday’s win wasn’t easy, despite the Raiders’ 2-6 record.

“Our (coaches) expectations and the kids’ were different,” Massillon’s first-year head coach Tom Stacy said. “These kids expected a lot. The kids’ expectations were higher than the community’s was before this season.”

That’s quite a statement.

After Massillon was finished grinding out the win, the Tigers’ expectations matched that of Harding head coach Thom McDaniels. The veteran head coach told Stacy after the game he believed Massillon could win 15 games and the school’s first state title since the playoffs began in 1972.
Whoa, big fella.

“That team plays with heart, and with passion,” said McDaniels, whose six losses this year will ensure him of his first losing season in more than 30 years of coaching. “They play with effort. They have their share of talent, too. I just love the way that Massillon Tiger football team plays.”

Harding might have been the best team Massillon has played. Certainly, defensively that argument could be made.

The Tiger offense struggled much of the night and finished with a season-low 197 yards.

“This was like a basketball game where you’re expected to win by 12 or 15 points,” Stacy said. “Then all of a sudden, you have to grind out a 4-point win. That’s what it felt like. I don’t think we were flat. We expected a grudge match, and we got exactly what we thought.”

Massillon’s offense didn’t score a touchdown until the fourth quarter. The Tigers took a 7-0 lead when Andrew Dailey blocked a Harding punt inside the Warren 5. Brian Gamble plucked the ball from the air and returned it 3 yards for a touchdown.

“We thought we could get it with a scheme and Scott Garcia, our special teams coach, did a great job with the call,” Stacy said.

The Tigers offense, which put up 54 last week and 29 against St. Ignatius, went dormant much of the night.

But a defense that has nine straight quarters of shutout football and four shutouts this season, came through. Senior outside linebacker Quenten Paulik epitomized what this season has been like.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pounder switched from quarterback to linebacker in the offseason. Paulik had three tackles for a loss Friday night.

None were bigger than his corral in the fourth quarter.

With plenty of time left, Harding’s offense drove from its 32 to the Massillon 8. On second-and-5, the Raiders tried a wide receiver reverse with Jay Provitt, the state’s sixth-fastest 100-meter runner last year.

“I read it, I saw the fake handoff to the running back, and I saw him coming around,” Paulik said. “I knew he was fast. We scouted that.”

Paulik threw Provitt for an 11-yard loss. Harding, facing third-and-16 from the 19, never recovered.

“We gave (Provitt) the ball going into the wide side of the field and asked a kid to make a play,” McDaniels said. “Their kid made a better one.”
Before that, the Tigers took a 13-0 lead. Running back Brian Gamble, who finished with 119 of Massillon’s 121 rushing yards, appeared to have scored on fourth-and-goal from the 1. He was 2 yards deep in the end zone, but officials ruled his knee down at the 1-foot line. Gamble accounted for 94 of Massillon’s 124 yards on its final two drives.

He gave the Tigers a 13-0 lead when he went off tackle behind Cory Shane and Kyle Arnold for an 8-yard score.

Perhaps Gamble’s biggest play, aside from his block punt return, came on third-and-9 for the Warren 48. He took a jailbreak screen 31 yards to the 17.

“Big players make big plays in big games,” Stacy said. “He’s a great football player. But this was a team win. Our defense ... I can’t say enough about them.”

The offense did enough to win. The defense, however, is raising expectations.

At least outside the locker room and across the sideline.

As far as I am concerned, Dailey is a top priority next year. He was at the ND game yesterday and will be at the OSU/Michigan game later this season. I know he was blown away by JT during his Texas visit so hopefully we land this kid in the end.

From the Canton Repository

Five players to watch: Massillon
Thursday, October 27, 2005 TODD PORTER
Massillon

Andrew Dailey
Wide receiver/safety 6-foot-3, 212 pounds
SCOUTING DAILEY There aren’t many high school players with this kind of size as a safety. Dailey plays his position well. No wonder he’s a Big Ten recruit and was invited by Notre Dame to watch the USC game. Dailey blitzes well and has three QB pressures and two sacks. He’s blocked two punts. Massillon will use him at WR, but often he’s easy to spot and tips off a play. As athletic as he is, he doesn’t catch the football particularly well.


WHAT HE MEANS He tackles well, he’s football smart and will be a key to Massillon’s defense trying to stop McKinley’s ground game.

the latest on dailey is that the nd visit didn't seem to knock off tosu as the tentative leader. he did not get the personal attention that he got at the osu game. still has tosu, meatchicken, nd and illinois as his four teams. seems to be keeping info close to the vest, i did learn that the parents may be pushing for one school in particular......:) :) :)

Dailey talks a little about the big game with McKinley. An assisstant from ND was at his school on Friday.

ND seems to be all-over this kid. They have done several articles on him and have sent coaches before this trip. I hope n8butch's update holds true. Dailey is one that we CAN NOT afford to lose to the Domers.
