Usually, being bigger and stronger than your opponent is a good thing. For one high school in Everett, Wash., however, their size has become a major disadvantage.
Archbishop Murphy's Wildcats football team has been so dominant this season that three schools have forfeited games against them, citing concerns over safety. In the three games they have played, the Wildcats have outscored their opponents 170-0.
"It's not that we're afraid to play the game, it's an injury issue," Granite Falls head coach Tim Dennis, one of the teams that forfeited their game, told King 5 News. "Because of the size disparity between the linemen. They have 300-pound linemen. And we have sophomores that are weight 210, 220 pounds and starting on varsity. So that's the issue, is the size disparity."
"I mean, that's like putting a Volkswagen bug against a Mack truck," Granite Falls mom Stacey McBride said.
Granite Falls lost to Archbishop Murphy 66-6 in 2015 and 56-7 in 2014.
