YUKON — The Canadian County sheriff's office has protested the sale of alcohol at professional soccer matches being held on a high school campus.

A hearing in Canadian County District Court is scheduled for April 20 between the sheriff and soccer club Rayo OKC, which is playing its home matches at Miller Stadium on the campus of Yukon High School.

Rayo OKC general manager Eric Newendorp said he learned a day before the first match on April 2 the sheriff was going to object to alcohol sales, even though the club had been issued the necessary special event permit from the county to sell 3.2 beer.

“In the best interest of the team and the school system, we decided not to try and push the issue with the sheriff,” Newendorp said. “But every person with a legal education that we have talked to has given us their expert advice on the matter and said we were right to obtain the permit and sell beer there.”
