I graduated from a 1A school on the eastside and we all played both ways to include special teams (I think we had like 61 in our graduating class), not uncommon to have several freshman suit up for varsity. I actually believe it is one class above 8 man but I could be wrong. We actually would play White Salmon as a non-league game, talk about a [Bleeeeep!] hole. Gravel track (some sort of red rock), rocks on the football field and you always had to run for the bus as they would be throwing rocks at us.
