The flight instructor reported that, the student pilot was making a soft field landing, the airplane's nose was high and the student chose to go-around prior to touch down. The airplane did not climb and drifted to the left. The instructor assumed control of the airplane, attempted to correct by pitching the nose down, added full power, and decreased flaps to 20°. The airplane did not climb or accelerate and continued to drift left. Subsequently, the airplane touched down and bounced in the gravel infield, entered the ramp area and impacted a light pole.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right and left wing.
The flight instructor reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
