In a matchup of two nationally ranked high school football teams, parochial school power DeMatha Catholic (3-1) came out on top of Massillon (4-2) 20-14 at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. Simply put, although the Tigers played to their capabilities, the Stag were bigger, stronger and faster, and they used those assets to control the game from start to finish.
When on offense, DeMatha was inclined to hand the ball to 4-star running back Bud Coombs (Maryland), who followed his 295 lb. offensive line to tune of 171 yards and a touchdown in 24 carries. The Stag also took advantage of a short field on three of their four scores. But the Tiger defense never quit and kept the game score under control.
DeMatha was equally effective on defense, keying on running back Ja’Meir Gamble the entire night. Gamble netted just 38 yards in 14 carries. Quarterback Jalen Slaughter did complete 15 of 25 passes, but for just 104 yards. He struggled all night to find receivers open against DeMatha’s extremely fast secondary and was left with screen passes and sideline tosses. It was commendable that the Tiger offense was even able to score. On a positive note, the Tiger offensive line did a great job against DeMatha’s constant blitzing and surrendered just two quarterback sacks.
