MASSILLON Even after it was over, Bri’onte Dunn was working. On a night that felt like Paul Brown Tiger Stadium was covered in a hot air balloon, Dunn did everything for the GlenOak High School football team but drive the team bus.

He did one better.

He drove to Atlanta after the game. He’s attending a family reunion there with his parents.

They will have plenty to talk about on the trip.

Dunn ran for 249 yards the hard way on 39 carries to lead GlenOak to a 22-21 win over Massillon. It was a game that ended with controversy, and history.

This was GlenOak’s first win over Massillon in 25 years. In 1986, GlenOak left Massillon with a win. Head coach Scott Garcia was on that team.

“This year’s team is way different than last year’s team,” Dunn said. “We don’t quit on this team. That’s the main thing.

“This senior class doesn’t quit. We’ve been waiting for this game for a long, long time. They upset us last year.”

The Tigers rallied from down two touchdowns a year ago to win at GlenOak. It looked like Massillon’s mystique would pull out another one.

Despite trailing, 10-7, at halftime and possibly leaving 6 points on the field, Massillon clawed back in the game.

The Tigers wasted scoring opportunity after scoring opportunity in the first half. Five of their first six drives started on GlenOak’s half of the field.

Massillon ran just one play from its side of the field in the first half, and that was a 48-yard pass from Kyle Kempt to Justin Blake-Coon on the first play of the game.

“As hard knocks as we thought the end of the game was, we missed on opportunities where that situation could’ve been avoided,” Massillon head coach Jason Hall said.

Hall was referring to a controversial call that ended with fans throwing items on the field. Massillon was hit with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty when a full bottle of blue PowerAde made its way to the 50 near players and an official.

With 1:33 left in the game, Dunn appeared to fumble the ball. It was difficult to see if his knee was down before the ball came out. Clearly, however, a whistle was blown before the ball came loose. One of the officials explained the whistle blew early because Hall was calling for a timeout, which was a mistake.

“Ultimately, what they did was take the game out of letting the kids decide whether we win or GlenOak wins,” said Hall, who clearly was irate at the officials after the game.

The officiating crew was escorted by police to the locker room and Massillon fans booed them off the field.

“I was down,” Dunn said. “My knee was down.”

“Two things happened,” GlenOak head coach Scott Garcia said. “First, his knee was down, and they blew the whistle early. Those two things happened.”

Massillon took a 21-10 lead in the third quarter when Kempt eluded a sack and found Tre Hendricks wide open down the left sideline for a 46-yard score.

But Dunn decided the game with will.

A drive that started at GlenOak’s 23 went 12 plays, and Dunn carried the ball on 10 of those. He gained 52 of the 77 yards in weather that had more than a half-dozen players fall over with cramps. His 12-yard run with 7:40 left made it 21-16 Massillon.

GlenOak’s defense forced a three-and-out. Dunn went back on the field with a drive that started at his own 36. Every single Massillon defender knew who was getting the ball.

On his third carry, Dunn broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage and busted loose for a 56-yard TD run.

“No, I was never worried about him getting tired,” Garcia said. “He’s the best back in the state of Ohio. Not only is he great and talented, he’s our hardest worker. When everyone else was asleep at 6 in the morning in the summer, he was working out. That’s why he was able to finish this game in these conditions.”

is anyone else worried about the ridiculous amount of carries this kid already has in high school? Players who run this many times in the NFL break down, I wonder how a 18yo's body will react. Averaging over 30 carries a game is a bit excessive

Ok. I did a little search and couldn't find the information. So I'll ask. Who's his cousin? Where does he play?

I would really hate to lose two of our best recruits to scum. Kalis is hard enough to take but Dunn is very important to this class and keeping the fence around OHIO. The timing of JT stepping down and HOKE convincing everyone that he is the greatest coach to ever walk the earth with a sub .500 record is irritating me. Go Bucks
