Authorities in Southern California say a  boy and a girl had fingers torn off during a game of tug-of-war at their high  school.

Los Angeles County Fire Capt. Miguel Garcia told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune  that doctors will try to reattach the fingers belonging to two South El Monte  High School students.

School district official Edward Zuniga declined to identify the students, but  the Tribune reports the girl is a senior on the soccer team and the boy is a  football player.
