UNION, S.C. — Authorities say a wall collapsed Friday at a high school football playoff game in northwest South Carolina and a dozen students were taken to the hospital.
Union County Superintendent David Eubanks told WSPA-TV that the injuries were not life-threatening.
Union County Sheriff's Cpl. Randy Manus says students were leaning against a concrete wall during the third quarter of the game between Union and J.L. Mann. Manus says students fell about 6 feet to the ground.
Manus says that about 15 students had cuts and bruises but were not taken to the hospital.
He says the students were Union fans. The game resumed after a delay.
