Football is one of the most challenging games to play at any level. High school football can be pretty tricky, depending on where you play. However, most of the time, you play with more than 11 players.
For a reason, there are more than 11 players on a team, and one high school football team found that out quickly. However, it was not in the way anyone would expect, as they played against a team with just 11 players.
A high school football team in Pennslyvania was forced to play with just 11 players and somehow blew out the other team by scoring nearly 70 points. All this was in a playoff game, by the way!
Westinghouse is one of the best high school football teams in Pittsburgh. It was established over 100 years ago and has around 1200 students enrolled at any given time.
High School Football Team Win 68-0 With Just 11 Players
Westinghouse was taking on a bitter rival in Perry Traditional Acadamy, which is located just 15 miles away from the aforementioned school. PTA had a clear advantage in the highly anticipated playoff match-up after Westinghouse cut down their roster after suspending most of their team for a recent “incident.”
In a video captured by a cellphone in the stands, there was a massive brawl after a player on the opposing squad was dragged back nearly 20 yards, causing him to throw a punch. Westinghouse’s bench was cleared, and everyone who left the bench area was suspended.

Pittsburgh Public Schools issued a statement clarifying that Westinghouse could participate in the next game with a “significantly reduced roster.” Come game time, there were only 11 players on the active roster.
However, it didn’t affect the team as they easily won by a score of 68-0, as most of the 11 players left to play were offensive starters. Let’s just say that Westinghouse’s team will be much more disciplined the next time around.
