The West Seattle Indians (not the "Wildcats" as the article states) are a 3A School for WIAA Classification standards.
To have only 11 people dressed after all the injuries, & other problems, means they must have a poor turnout for football.
Why did they not have some JV or C squad players suited up as back-ups? (Of course the playing quarters rule would come into effect of that happened)
Concerning the mascot change I listed, originally West Seattle High was known asd the Indians, however some of the Native American/Aboriginal/First Nations in/around Seattle complained by saying they were being portrayed in a negative light or found it offensive. Thanks to some rulings, the school changed from being the Indians to the Wildcats.
(Side note: There are those that graduated from West Seattle as Indians that still say they are Indians & not Wildcats & they are angered about the mascot change)
