Chambersburg roundup: Baseball team has a scare on trip to State College

BASEBALL
Chambersburg at State College: The game had to be postponed when the Trojans’ bus trip was halted because the driver suffered a medical emergency on U.S. 322 on the way to State College.

Fortunately, Chambersburg coach Scott Folmar and others were able to steer the bus to the side of the road and stop it.

“We were maybe 15-20 minutes from State College where 322 goes to a two-lane road,” Folmar said. “We kind of realized that the driver didn’t have control of the bus, but we were able to get it off to the side of the road and get it stopped. We all reacted and just did what we needed to do. Some of the kids were a little shook up, but nobody else was hurt. We don’t know if he had a seizure, or what.”

The bus was a charter bus from Bollman of Everett, and was carrying the Trojan varsity baseball and JV softball teams to their games. Bollman sent another driver to State College and he eventually drove the teams home, finally arriving in Chambersburg around 9:30.

“Fortunately, one of the JV softball coaches is from State College and she was able to call somebody who could send a bus to pick us up so we weren’t stranded there,” Folmar said.

No makeup dates have been set yet.
