Mustang Pride is Community Wide

As Massillon's Mayor for Life has decided to annex the Tuslaw School System, Massillon will soon be home to two high schools, and two high school football teams.

Our soon to be hometown Tuslaw Mustangs travelled to Smithville yesterday, and defeated the Smithville Smithies 47 - 21.

But it just didn't seem that the Massillon community was taking our new team to heart.

Where were the blue and white Mustang flags adorning Lincoln Way on game day? Where were the "Go Mustangs - Beat Smithville" signs in the windows of downtown businesses? Where was the Mustang Kick Off Rally downtown? And why wasn't the Massillon Museum serving blue and white Mustang striped ice cream?

Let's not treat our soon to be fellow Massillonians like some poor, country cousin. This will soon be our high school, and our team. The community needs to get behind our now beloved Tuslaw Mustangs.

We fully expect a "Beat Fairless" community parade through downtown before Tuslaw faces their traditional rival in week 10.

If we are going to annex an entire school system, we better start showing them some love.
