He's listed as a senior on last year's football roster, when he was technically a manager.

I guess the 52-7 beat down and loss of their starting RB wasn't enough for them the last time (2018) they went down to play them so they are going back for more. SMH

Honestly I am surprised the DIAA signs off on this. Most state associations won't allow their schools to play academy teams. California (CIF) even passed an "academy rule" in 2019 after Mater Dei played them and beat them 28-24 in 2018

Regardless of the academy team my question is who PAYS for this? St johns day trip all good, but the other two probably involve hotel and for IMG a flight.

I do know IMG pays some of the teams that play them cost if they come down to IMG but I am sure there is still $ that needs to be paid for a public school and tax $'s seems crazy.

Maybe the boosters and fund raising picks it up as I am sure MT is strong in this area and raises good cash.

Last time they went down I believe the players had to do a fundraiser. If you didn’t raise the money you didn’t go? This year unless I’m mistaken IMG is gonna accommodate some of the expenses.

Ohio I still haven’t heard how the boys are getting there (bus or plane), however I did hear through the grapevine that the team will be visiting the hall of fame in Canton thanks to Washington.

I’m sure though that the Team/boosters will be promoting some kind of fundraiser(s) to help cover some of the expenses. I know I’ll be in Ohio, the Florida trip I’m still on the fence about

You should go IMG is an awesome place to visit and hell you only live once.

If you do go to IMG stay down in Siesta Key - top beach in the USA. Incredible sand.

I have family down there so I am biased

When did he get hurt? Was that last year? Was he considered a manager because of the injury?

I went down back in 2018 when they played. Had a great time. Took a tour of the campus, went to the game. Visited a beach and then went to the Buccaneers game, caught the red eye back. It was a great trip. I’ve been to Florida plenty of times and never had a bad experience.

He got hurt in a scrimmage the week before the season against Delcastle. Don’t quote me on this but I believe he tore his ACL/MCL. He wanted to okay through it but the doctors wouldn’t let him.

Middletown has a rough schedule considering how much talent they lost. We’ll see how well they do. They could have up to 5 loses looking at their schedule.

I saw he popped up on twitter as going to one of those faux prep academies in FLA along with another MT player (might have been a Smyrna player) but that has been deleted. it It looks like he is still shopping for one of those type programs though (if you want to call them programs).. Those programs are a complete waste of time/money if you ask me but yeah whatever

That’s unfortunate he was a good player. most of those programs aren’t good and pretty much scam kids into given them money. Hopefully he can get something out of it tho

Massillon draws a ton of money from their gate and has a crap ton of money in their coffers from donations from alumni and local fans. They pay a pretty good travel stipend for teams to come play them.

IMG typically will pay more if the game will be televised like on ESPN or something (this one won't) but they will cover room and board for the players and coaches to stay there. They may even have a deal from FLO that they will pay some travel stipend for MT to come.

IMG is having a real hard time getting games and they are paying public teams to come take a beat down. Like when a FCS school gets a ton of cash to play a power 5 school. lol

Ah. I hope he catches on! He’s a little undersized but damn he was electric.
