In the 134 years since Massillon Washington High School first fielded a football team, the Tigers have been recognized as state champions a total of twenty-five times, with the most recent title bestowed in 2023. Out of thirty-seven coaches leading the Tigers, only twelve have taken the team to statewide recognition with three of them claiming national championship titles.

It is through the leadership and great minds of these men upon which the legacy of the Massillon Tigers is built. It is because of their innovations and commitment to both team and community that Massillon is able to call itself the "City of Champions."
