Studer was one of the main characters in the Documentary on Massillon HS, Go Tigers.

Did BJ Payne resign already, or did I miss him getting fired earlier this year?

Multiple google results reveal that he resigned in mid-December.

Wonder why BJ Payne left. Thought the Tigers were pretty competitive??

I talked to Bj in December, he had already resigned,, he told me he wanted to move south and continue teaching and coaching there.

BTW Playing for Pizza is a fun book to read.  I also recommend it.

Good for Nate!

I would highly recommend a book called "Playing For Pizza" by John Grisham.  Fictional book about a NFL'er that ends up playing in Italy.  Funny/good read, and gives some insight into American football over there.

It was a fun read.  The first chapter where he is in the hospital...............hilarious.  Grisham also wrote another football book called Bleachers. It is about a bunch of guys who go back to their old hometown for their HS football coach's funeral.  Not as good but it is football and Grisham so I enjoyed it.

I haven't read the book, yet after the positive reviews by you guys, I guess I'll have to get a copy to read on my upcoming vacation.  Thanks for the info.

Same here! Love it!

So Raider68...how many more years do you think Coach Kehres will continue coaching?  As he is only 65 y/o according to the article (and, of course, that is still young), I would assume he will go to at least age 70, although perhaps he'll just want to continue on like Gagliardi at St. John's.  Although obviously no one knows for sure, you guys from Mount would have a somewhat better idea/opinion on that I would think.
