Goal post on Southern Boone’s football field damaged after storms

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The goal post in the south end zone of Southern Boone High School’s football field was damaged Monday afternoon after storms rolled through the area.

District spokesman Matt Sharp wrote in an email that that the goal post was damaged after 5 p.m.

“The school district is in the process of evaluating the damage, make the necessary repairs and/or replace the goal post,” the email says.

The base of the goal post appeared to be upright in a photo Sharp sent, but the uprights and cross bar were detached from it.

A junior varsity football game was scheduled for Monday afternoon, but was canceled after the storm.

Southern Boone’s varsity team is scheduled to host Boonville on Friday night.

“I don't have an update at this time regarding this Friday night's home football game,” Sharp wrote. “The school district will be working this week to try to have the broken goal post replaced before Friday night's home football game against Boonville.”
