UNION, S.C. - A wall collapsed at a high school football playoff game in northwest South Carolina and a dozen students were taken to the hospital.

Union County Sheriff's Cpl. Randy Manus says students were leaning against a concrete wall during the third quarter of Friday night's game between Union and J.L. Mann. Manus says students fell about six feet to the ground.
