Danielle Meyer said that as soon as she arrived at the game, she knew something had happened.

“I mean as soon as we stepped out of the truck, there was a big ol’ explosion and I thought maybe a tent had blown over,” Meyer said.

Strong winds caused the pole to topple onto the field while players took part in a soccer jamboree game, according to Clarksville Superintendent David Hopkins.

“It seemed like it was forty or fifty miles per hour… I mean, even the goal posts where they play football were swaying back and forth,” Meyer said.

Several school districts were at the event.
