Football game ends with attack

        MOUNT HEALTHY - Five Deer Park High School students were treated for minor injuries after a large group of teenagers threw rocks and other objects at their school bus while it was leaving a Friday night football game.

        The bus, carrying about 35 Deer Park football players and cheerleaders, was stopped on its way out of the Mount Healthy stadium parking lot when at least 10 teenagers started throwing rocks, lawn ornaments and a Big Wheel, according to Mount Healthy police.

        Deer Park had earlier defeated Mount Healthy, 6-3.

        Those throwing objects at the bus were part of a larger crowd of nearly 50 people that was gathered near the exit around 10:30 p.m., according to police. An officer heard the noises and ran after some of the teens as the crowd dispersed.

        No one was arrested but police are continuing their investigation. Police said they did not know what schools the teens attended. Police planned on talking to school officials when classes resumed Tuesday.

        Several windows in the bus were broken, but damage estimates had not been assessed Saturday.

        Three football players, a cheerleader and a male student were taken to Bethesda North Hospital where they were treated and released, said Barbara Hammel, Deer Park superintendent.

        One of the football players was checked for a concussion, but tests came back negative. The others' eyes were checked for injuries from broken glass. One football player received stitches above his elbow.

        “It was a frightening experience for them,” Ms. Hammel said. “My greatest regret for our children and our families and these communities is that a group of irresponsible individuals has this kind of negative impact on two school communities.”

        Deer Park canceled its reserve football game Saturday morning.

        Mount Healthy superintendent David Horine said he did not think the incident was because of bad sportsmanship.

        Teens on the bus said Mount Healthy players were not part of the crowd, Ms. Hammel said.

        Mount Healthy officials will meet this week to evaluate their stadium procedures, including possibly increasing security.
