DeMatha's dominant 17-0 victory over Friendship Collegiate on Friday night at Catholic University was the second-ranked Stags' fourth straight shutout and their first triumph this season over another team in The Washington Post's Top 20.

Those feats ended up being mere footnotes because Friday's victory was for "J.B."

Friday was the first anniversary of the death of Marquis Jaylen Brown, a redshirt sophomore at Duquesne and former DeMatha starting linebacker. Brown died after falling 16 stories from a college dorm in Pittsburgh, and Thursday would have been his 22nd birthday.
