A city of around 30,000 people in northeast Ohio, just west of Canton. Crazy high
school football city. Baby boys born in Massillon are given small footballs in the hospital. In fact, Massillon's
high school football team has the second
winningest program in the nation behind Valdosta, Georgia. A couple of Massillon alumni include Paul Brown and former NFL linebacker Chris Spielman. The Massillon Tigers have a huge, nationally known rivalry with the next door Canton McKinley Bulldogs. This was the topic of the film Go Tigers!...Bobby Knight was also born in Massillon.
