I’m not sure why the stats would not count, according to 8-1 Point Values the half time score would stand.

8-1 … FORFEITED GAME: … Game score is: Offended Team: 1, Opponent: 0. But if offended team is ahead, the score stands.

Ok, I stand corrected, why would those two things be that far apart in the rules book?

So that poeple like yourself who aren't as familiar with the rules have to dig to find a ruling.

They do that as a challenge to OC's of 0-5 teams.

Michigan added a new 50-point rule this year. We have always had a running clock in the second half after 35 points but we stopped it for Timeouts, Injuries, Penalties, and Scores.
Now, at 50-points we only stop the clock for official timeouts for injuries.

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)
