Pennsylvania high school football team dominates opponent despite having just 11 players

While it was reasonable to assume the shortage of players would be an obstacle that could not be overcome, the Westinghouse football team ultimately defied the odds. 

Westinghouse High School in Pittsburgh entered a game with just 11 players.

After the first two quarters, Westinghouse held a 60-0 lead over Perry Traditional Academy. When the teams emerged from their respective locker rooms for the second half, the game's final two quarters were reduced to six minutes, respectively. A running clock was also implemented for the entire second half, per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Westinghouse went on to cruise to a 68-0 victory.

Westinghouse has a history of winning games against Perry Traditional Academy in dominating fashion, winning a matchup earlier this season also by a 68-0 mark. 

Westinghouse High School in Pittsburgh entered a game with just 11 players.

National Federation of State High School Associations policy states that "any players leaving the bench area during a fight are automatically ejected from the game," per the Post-Gazette. The federation's rules also require any player who is in violation to be "suspended for the next game."
