The Guthrie boys soccer team got off to a quick start to the 2010 season with a trip to the 20th annual Rose Rock Tournament in Noble.
The Jays lost in the championship game to Heritage High School (AR) 5-0. Heritage is a Class 7A Arkansas school and competes in the highest class in the state.
Before that, Guthrie opened the season with a 1-0 win over Ada and a 2-1 decision over tournament host Noble.
Sage Russell scored both goals in the win over Noble with both assists coming from Correy Whoolery.
The Jays (2-1) will be back in action Tuesday (March 9th) along with the Lady Jays when they travel to Carl Albert. Game time begins at 5:30 for the ladies. The first home game of the season will be Thursday (March 11) when they host Shawnee.

Harrah, Okla. — The 2009-2010 Guthrie boys basketball season came to an abbreviated end at Harrah High School in the Class 5A area tournament.
The Jays needed just one win on either Friday, or Saturday to punch their ticket to the state tournament for the fifth straight season. Instead, they end their season with an 18-9 record.
Friday evening, Guthrie met up with El Reno for the eighth time in the last three seasons having won six of the previous seven, including last years area championship game, but the Indians controlled this game.
The Indians held on to a 48-46 win after Kentrell Brothers potential game tying shot with two seconds left fell short.
With the win, El Reno will make back-to-back state tournament appearances and play Claremore in the first round.
The Jays met up with Ardmore the following night, Saturday, with the Ardmore Tigers in a do-or-die game. Yet another familiar opponent for the Jays. Guthrie had won all five meetings in the past three seasons.
However, Ardmore picked up the win and will head to state with a 55-51 win. The very athletic Tigers will play Tulsa East Central in the first round of state.
Guthrie jumped out to an 8-4 lead, but Ardmore finished the first quarter on an 11-0 run to take a 15-8 first quarter lead and a 25-19 halftime lead over the Jays.
The Jays just like the prior night were down as many as eight points only to find themselves rallying to take the lead back, but the Jays had the lead for :13 in the entire fourth quarter against the Tigers.
Ardmore held a 54-51 lead with :10 left, but the Jays had one last opportunity to try to send the game into overtime, but were not able to get a shot off and were forced to foul.
