Oklahoma Town Rallies to Save Football Field | Oklahoma City News

Minco, Oklahoma’s high school football field is on the brink of collapse under a brutal drought, forcing the community to band together in an extraordinary show of local grit. With city water banned for irrigation and summer heat turning the turf brown, farmers and residents are hauling their own water to keep the field playable—just days before the season opener. Superintendent Kevin Sims calls it the “Oklahoma spirit,” as neighbors rally to protect a cherished tradition. While officials scramble for long-term solutions and collaborate with county and city leaders, daily watering efforts continue. The first home game is August 28—and everyone’s hoping the field survives to see the team take the field. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
