Dog attacks high school girls basketball players on team bus

CAMDEN, N.J. -- A high school basketball team in South Jersey got quite a  scare over the weekend before a game, reports CBS Philly.

The Woodrow Wilson High School girls’ basketball team was boarding a bus to go to an away game Saturday morning. That’s when the players and staff were joined by an unwanted passenger.

Officials say at least one dog hopped on and bit two of the students. They were taken to the a hospital, where they received stitches.

Everyone else made it off the bus safely, before the dog was trapped inside.

“This was a random and deeply unfortunate incident,” says Brendan Lowe, who’s  with the Camden City School District.

The team ended up going to the game in cars.

“We’re proud of how quickly our students, staff and families responded to it,”  Lowe added. “The injured students are resting at home and we’re closely monitoring them and their teammates during this time.”

After all that, the team won the game – the coach’s 100th career victory.
