May Tornado Wrecked Field, Tries to Wreck Season

When a large tornado touched down in west Guthrie last May, it tore up the city’s only soccer field.  Now it’s wrecking the season.

Guthrie’s spring soccer league ended just a few days before the tornado hit, and the fields were empty.  They’re still empty today, but not by choice.

A large container that held goals and the soccer club’s newly purchased paint machine was rolled over the field by the storm into some nearby trees.  When it rolled across, it left large ruts in the field.  The concession stand was also destroyed, along with some fence line and several bleachers.
