Video: Bat storms the court in JV basketball gameTwo bats interrupt a high school basketball game between Stratford and Cross.Lately, something has been sending high school basketball fans into a rabid frenzy, almost literally.
Bats apparently have been unwelcome fans at high school basketball games.
Last Thursday, in a Class 2A playoff game between
Southwest Onslow (Jacksonville, N.C.) and host
West Bladen (Bladenboro, N.C.), a bat flew around the court, causing a delay in the game before the bat was eventually subdued.
According to KLTV, it was the second area game in recent weeks to be affected by the presence of bats.
Two years earlier, in a game between
Stratford (Conn.) and
Wilbur Cross (New Haven, Conn.), a pair of the winged mammals sent players sprinting off the court multiple times.
See footage from the Connecticut incident in the video above.
