#7 Massillon (OH) at #4 Canton McKinley (OH) - 2025 | THE GREATEST RIVALRY in AMERICA

JUST THE FACTS:

Not only are these two communities of Canton and Massillon known for starting professional football, but the two high schools of Canton McKinley and Massillon Washington are also known for modernizing the game of football for over more than a century after. The first playbook ever constructed was given out here. The first booster club ever was started here. The first live nationally televised high school game was filmed here. And since the 1960's, The Pro Football Hall of Fame is here.

A combined 37 Ohio state titles, 11 national titles, and 1,800 games won between the two makes them not only the two winningest programs in Ohio, but also puts them both in the top 10 for the nation. They have sent more players, coaches, and GM's to the NFL than ANY OTHER HIGH SCHOOL RIVALRY. They are without a doubt, the two most historic football programs in the country... and since 1894, they have produced the Greatest Football Rivalry in America.

Massillon (now 7-3) defeats McKinley (now 8-2) for the 10th consecutive game in the rivalry. This stands as the longest win streak for the Tigers in a rivalry that dates all the way back to 1894. McKinley (then named Central HS) won the first 14 matchups of the series and that still holds as the longest win streak in the rivalry.
