High school sports might be the last arena in which athletes compete for the sheer joy of playing; like the tennis player who pounds balls daily on a court surrounded by the realities of a declining neighborhood; or the swimmers who are in the pool at five in the morning, tired, but ready to go; or the basketball team that stays together in the face of twelve straight losses and cherishes their first win. David Morgan, a northeast Ohio sports writer, has put together a collection of stories - even a few about Lebron James - that have touched his heart and soul. Still, most of the players, coaches, and other people you'll meet are just working hard. They don't view their actions as remarkable, but they are.

After playing 4 quarters of hard-fought football games, the Massillon Tiger football team gathered in a circle at the center of every football field they played on in 2019 to do 15 pushups -- a push-up for every game it would take to lead them to the State Championship game. The mantra for the season became: 15 for 15. Each pushup is represented as a chapter in this book and a different piece of the puzzle that explains the football town of Massillon, Ohio. In this dramatic and entertaining book, Author and Tiger running back coach, David Lee Morgan, Jr. shares stories that offer a unique and unequaled perspective into the 2019 season and the Tigers' quest for that elusive state championship. The Massillon Tiger football program isn't a typical high school football program. It's a ministry of football with the first season dating back to 1894. The Massillon Tigers: 15 for 15 is the powerful tale of one of the most storied high school football programs anywhere in the country and their magical 2019 season, as told by an award-winning author and journalist who enjoyed unlimited access to the players, coaches, and families through his role as the running backs coach.
