When the Oak Grove Warriors take the field in just a couple of weeks, they’ll be doing so on brand new turf. But they aren’t the only ones benefitting.
The new turf is the result of a $1.5 million Warrior Club Oak Grove Capital Improvement campaign that’s been five months in the making.
Extracurricular activities and athletics are important parts of a school district, but academics can’t be pushed aside. In Lamar County, efforts are being made for the two to work hand-in-hand with great results.
Oak Grove’s offense spearheaded its state championship appearance last season, which was led by quarterback John Rhys Plumlee.
There will be two major differences when Oak Grove takes the field this fall. While there are a number of key returners to the team this season, the Warriors will have a new quarterback in the backfield for the first time in three years and Warriors Field will also get a facelift with new synthetic turf.
