Massillon confident heading into showdown with GlenOak

Experience always was a big concern for the Massillon Tigers coming out of the preseason. Confidence, on the other hand, was not a concern.

What the Tigers may have lacked in varsity experience throughout the three weeks of two-a-days, they made up for in confidence. And now, they have a win to back up that confidence thanks to last week?s 31-6 season-opening win over Buchtel.

"We just have heart," senior co-captain Alex Winters said. "We don't want to be a 5-5 team. We want to make this a run. We're pretty close. We just want to show people what we can do."

The Tigers get another chance to do just that tonight when they play host to GlenOak at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. But the team that comes into tonight's game is a much different one than the one that entered last week?s opener.

It's early, but it doesn't get much better than Massillon vs. GlenOak

Who is going to play quarterback for GlenOak tonight?

Honestly, it doesn't really matter to Massillon head coach Jason Hall. If Peyton Manning lined up under center for the Golden Eagles tonight at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium, the Tigers aren't changing their mindset.

GlenOak and Massillon play tonight in an early season showdown that should have a playoff-like atmosphere in one of the country?s most renowned stadiums.

"At the end of the day, you?ve just go to play football," Hall said. "When it all comes down to it, Bri'onte Dunn is going to carry the ball 30-some times for them. They are who we thought they were."

Dunn is GlenOak's bruising running back. At 6-foot-1, 221 pounds, Dunn packs a wallop and brings breakaway speed to the field once he is past the line of scrimmage. In a 28-27 loss at Bob Commings Field last season, Dunn lit up Massillon's defense for 320 yards on 39 carries. He was practically all of the Eagles' offensive output, and that came against eight defenders in the box most of the game.

Somewhere Dennis Green is smiling ("The Beats are who we thought they were!").

Dunn vs. Winters...Kempt vs. Worstell...should be a good one.
