Will be recruited as a cover corner, with great hips and quick feet. Considered a top 10 player in Ohio for the 2007 class. A wide receiver turned tailback on offense, Gamble broke off a 70-yard run on his first carry in a scrimmage vs Perry, and followed it up by cruising for 160 yards vs. Dover. Ohio State is in contact.

"He might be our best football player. He's a threat every time he touches the ball. He's got a chance to be a great one." -Massillon coach Tom Stacy

Massillon at Cincinnati Elder

Kickoff: 4 p.m. Saturday.

Records: Massillon is 1-0; Elder is 1-0.

Coaches: Tom Stacy is 1-0 in his first season at Massillon and 25-16 in his career. Doug Ramsey is Elder's coach.

Notebook: The Tom Stacy era in Massillon started in fine fashion with a 34-0 victory over Dover. The Tigers scored touchdowns on their first three drives. Senior receiver Zach Vanryzin caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Tom Huth, senior Lanale Robinson ran for a 46-yard touchdown and junior Brian Gamble scored from a yard out. Massillon tallied 340 yards rushing, with Gamble running for 164 yards on 14 carries, and Robinson added 96 yards. The defense was not to be outdone, as they recorded 11 sacks and had two interceptions. Senior linebacker Paris McCall had a hand in six sacks, and junior cornerback Darian McGuire had both interceptions. Elder beat Wayne High 21-14 and was led by senior quarterback Nick Zeiser, who ran for two touchdowns and passed for one.

CINCINNATI - Troy Ellis had a field day.

The Massillon senior cornerback recorded six turnovers -- five interceptions and a fumble recovery -- as the visiting Tigers defeated Cincinnati Elder 35-31 at the Bengals' Paul Brown Stadium.

Ellis said he had only three career interceptions going into Saturday afternoon's game.

``Unbelievable,'' Massillon coach Tom Stacy said.
Stacy was speaking of Ellis, but he could've been describing Elder's comeback. The Panthers (1-1) scored 24 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, but the Tigers' defense held on at the end.

Massillon dominated the first three quarters. The Tigers (2-0) had 270 rushing yards to Elder's 126. Massillon junior Brian Gamble rushed for 147 yards on 12 carries and two touchdowns.

The Tigers led 35-7 going into the fourth before Elder rallied with a touchdown pass and two touchdown runs by senior quarterback Nick Zeiser.

``You've got to finish people off,'' Stacy said of Elder's rally. ``Our kids learned a lesson today -- almost a hard lesson.''

It was the first time Stacy was back in Cincinnati with the Massillon program since he was a 31-year-old assistant in 1990 at a game at Riverfront.

Stacy likened Saturday to a college football atmosphere. The Tigers attended the Bengals-Indianapolis Colts preseason game Friday.

``We tried to treat (it like a college game) and our kids did a great job,'' Stacy said.

Massillon is coming off two consecutive 4-6 seasons. Although the matchup was a one-year deal, Ramsey said he'd like to play Massillon again.

Gamble said he believes the Tigers are a closer-knit group under Stacy.

``We didn't have that determination (last season) like we do now,'' he said.
Massillon, which changed to a 3-4 defense this season, forced a turnover on Elder's second possession.

Ellis returned a fumble 20 yards for a score at 5:47 to make it 7-0.
On Massillon's next series, junior quarterback Bobby Huth (9-of-18, 120 yards) scored on an 11-yard run on third down that capped the Tigers' drive to make it 14-0 at halftime. Massillon went 77 yards on eight plays in 2:57.

On the third play of the second half, junior Brian Gamble broke loose at midfield and ran untouched for a 50-yard touchdown to put Massillon up 21-0.

Gamble scored again on a 3-yard run with 59 seconds left in the third to make it 35-7. He had 147 yards on 12 carries.

``It's a big part of a stepping stone for us,'' Stacy said of the victory.

FRIDAY
Chardon vs. Massillon

What, when, where: Nonleague game, 7:30 p.m., at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium, Washington (Massillon) High School, One Paul E. Brown Dr., Massillon. Call 330-830-1800.

Records: Chardon 2-1; Massillon 3-0.

What to watch: The Hilltoppers go against one of America's most tradition-laden teams. The host Tigers have rebounded from back-to-back 4-6 seasons. Chardon's wing-T offense, featuring the running of gifted tailback Bobby Doyle and quarterback John Ross, will need to keep the football away from a Massillon offense led by quarterback Bobby Huth and tailbacks Brian Gamble and Lanale Robinson. Linebacker Paris McCall and safety Gamble highlight a big-play, turnover-forcing Tigers defense that has two shutouts.

Mentor at Massillon

What, when, where: Nonleague game, 7:30 p.m., at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium, Washington High School, One Paul E. Brown Drive SE, Massillon.

Call: 330-830-1800.

Records: Mentor 1-3; Massillon 4-0.

What to watch: All of Mentor's losses have been to state-ranked Division I teams, and now comes fourth-ranked Massillon, which has outscored its opponents, 173-38, including two shutouts. The Tigers are averaging 464 yards per game, led by junior standout Brian Gamble's 515 yards rushing and seven touchdowns. That's bad news for Mentor, which has struggled to stop the run with a defense that keeps losing starters to injuries. The Cardinals did move the ball well against St. Ignatius last week, with 372 yards in a 55-35 loss.

good article from Bill Greene about JR's that were at the Texas game. Gamble was there and just raved about his time. says we are now in the driver's seat. sounds like Devin Jordan is really recruiting the Massillon kids hard.
