A bus carrying a Wichita college basketball team caught fire, leaving players and staff briefly stranded in a central Nebraska town.

The Newman University men's basketball team was heading from Kearney, Nebraska, to Hays, Kansas on Saturday when the fire occurred. The bus was carrying 15 basketball players, 3 coaches and an athletic trainer. No one was injured.


Head Coach R.J. Allen says the only personal items lost in the fire were phone chargers, pillows and blankets.

Allen says the team was headed to a practice before a game against Fort Hays State University.
