Pelham on Friday became the first team since West Hall in 2014 to shut out its first three opponents. The feat is increasingly rare with today's high-scoring offenses. It has happened only seven times this decade, and four of those took place in 2010. In the 1960s, there were 72 teams that did it, including 12 in 1967 alone, according to the Georgia High School Football Historians Association. The last teams to shut out their first four opponents were LaGrange and Tucker in 2007. Here are teams that have opened with three consecutive shutouts since 1990.
