We've heard of coaches stopping a team bus for fear that the driver was impaired, but never to teach the passengers a lesson. Marcellus (N.Y.) High School officials are investigating a bizarre detour junior varsity football players were allegedly forced to take Saturday after a road loss at Skaneateles.

According to Syracuse Post-Standard sources, players then were told to rise up and bring their season back to life.
