1970 was the last year in which the vaunted football program of Massillon Washington High School was named Ohio State Football Champions by the Associated Press in which there was no state playoff system. Massillon Washington "Tigers" are Ohio's winningest High School football team and second in the United States only to Valdosta HS in Georgia.
In a petition submitted to the OHSAA on October 1st, the school board stated, "with due concern to the public interest of the preservation of history and gallantry, we hereby request the OHSAA cease and desist the playoff system currently used for High School Football in Ohio". The petition was also signed by 32,258 concerned citizens.
The school board further expressed concern that the current playoff system will mottle the outlook of previous 'poll' state champions making them illegitimate. When asked the meaning of this, Superintendent of Schools Richard Goodright stated that there's a growing number of population that believes Massillon's 37 State Titles must be illegitimate when considering they have never won a State Playoff Championship in the 44 years they've been played since 1972, and that many schools are requesting the OSHAA and AP to reconsider up to 22 of those championships Massillon had won.
Mr. Goodright opined that a playoff system leaves a great deal of dejected young men because of playoff losses and that it would be better to have them feeling good about themselves from having such a great season rather than subjecting them to the cruelty of potential playoff loss and injury.
The OHSAA has yet to respond to the petition and did not respond to our interview request.

"I just couldn't take it anymore, and unleashed my forces at the person who was irritating me. I had no idea the energy of my rage could cause such destruction," says Anna. Despite the ruination her anger has caused, Anna says she has no regrets. "I actually wish I knew I had this ability sooner!" Anna laughs. "There are a lot of people and things I could have eradicated from my life in this way."

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
