Travel-wise, while a WPIAL outlier, they don't have it too bad right now. They are in with Kiski, Armstrong, Highlands, etc.
Like many schools, they just can't get enough kids out for the football team. IHS has a very good hockey program which has no doubt taken kids away from football. Hockey is essentially a fall and winter sport so I don't think kids would (could) do both.
Indiana wasn't bad early in the season but then got ravaged by injuries to its few star players. No depth. As a 4A football program, they are only dressing (I'd guess) 35 to 40 players (and several of those are freshmen).
I still think IHS likes the prestige of the WPIAL (considering it is surrounded by non-WPIAL schools).
The 'revenue' boys' sports have been down for awhile now.
