Salem High School's football team took the field Friday night for its first game since a school bus wreck last month injured several players. The return marked an emotional homecoming for the program and its community.
According to WSBTV reporter Ashlyn Webb, the accident occurred last month and left multiple team members hurt. On November 7, 2026, a number of those players were back in uniform and participated in the contest.
The game represented a significant step forward for the athletes and the school as they move past the traumatic incident.
