When Dundalk shut out Franklin, 7-0, on Friday, it was the first time the Indians had been shut out by a MPSSAA team since the Tribe’s 2012 opener versus Wise.

Mervo has lost three straight games for the first time since week four of the 2013 season. In between, Mervo held the fifth highest winning percentage (.848) in the MPSSAA during that time, going 78-14. The Mustangs trailed only the major heavyweights in win percentage over that nine year span.
