    • Trivia
      Todd Rohal's 1986 short documentary "Tiger Town" (which seems to be completely unavailable anywhere) offers an earlier look at Massillon and its football culture, and seems a probable inspiration for this film.

      Ellery Moore: You know, people walk around and they say 'Oh, I'm from New York.', and you're like 'So what? I'm from Massillon.', you know?

    A look how high school football rules a small midwest town

    Go Tigers! is a look how high school football rules a small midwest town. The people of Masillon live, eat, drink and breath High School football, and this movie looks at the team, people of the town, the coaches whose everyday lives are affected by the high school team. The people of Masillon go beyond the term of fans. They are fanatics. It also shows some of the darksides of high school sports. A possible "drafting" of an in-eligible player is one highlight. The "mischeif" between two high schools before the big game. It even goes into how a succesfull season affects the school levy. I found this all very interesting, if not somewhat disturbing. All in all it made for some riveting watching.
