Massillon Against the World: The Story of the 2023 Massillon Tigers (Unabridged‪)‬

“We’re a small town with a football problem,” says a coach from the Massillon Tigers. It’s been fifty-three years since the town of Massillon, Ohio, had a State Championship to celebrate. On November 30, 2023, Head Coach Nate Moore led his Tigers to their first State Title in the playoff era. Scott Ryan, author and lifelong Tiger fan, and Becca Moore, administrator and wife of Nate Moore, interview the coaches and take listeners through the adversity, the controversy, and the obsessive fan base that is Massillon, Ohio. 

Listen about the after-game flare-up between rivals Massillon and McKinley, the battle of Tiger Town versus Title Town, and the real story behind the benching of the Tiger’s quarterback by the OHSAA. Massillon Against the World will have you cheering on what may just be the last small town in America that still believes that hard work is the key to overcoming adversity. Mike Brown, legendary Massillon Coach Paul Brown’s son and majority owner of the Bengals, contributes the foreword. This book is read by the Authors, Scott Ryan (Moonlighting: An Oral History) and Becca Moore (Tiger Talk, Massillon Head Coach Nate Moore's wife).
