Massillon (10-1) defeated Columbus DeSales (8-4), 48-0. This week Massillon travels to Sundbury Big Walnut (11-0) for a Round 3 playoff game. In front of a better than average sized playoff crowd at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium, Massillon simply overwhelmed the Stallions by the score of 48-0. That, coming on the heels of a 31-0 victory over Canton McKinley. In both of those contests, the Tigers held their foes to zero points and negative yards rushing. The defense was smothering throughout, with DeSales producing negative three yards and failing to gain a first down in the opening half of play. Offensively, the Tigers once again leaned on the run, with Savior Owens carrying the bulk of the load. He responded with another fine outing, rushing for close to 200 yards and scoring three touchdowns. Meanwhile quarterback Rasmus Haines was a factor when a pass was called for, aided by great pocket protection from the offensive line. Haines finished with around 120 yards passing and two touchdowns. The Tigers compiled 392 yards (243 rushing and 149 passing), against DeSales total of just six yards and two first downs. It was one of the most dominant defensive performances in Massillon history.
