On Sept. 12, 2011, a Monday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium, Dunmore won 45-0. The game had been moved because of flooding in Luzerne County, and Meyers had one day of practice that week.

Meyers drove from its 31 to the Dunmore 30 and turned the ball over on downs when Teaguen Labatch's pass to Jacob Brominski came up short on fourth-and-6. The Mohawks had four first downs the rest of the way. Austin Seamon and Daiqwon Buckley each scored twice, once in each half. Buckley's 18-yard run made it 27-0 with 54 seconds left in the half.
