The Fry Family
Had anyone in Oak Grove been asked about The Fry Family in the late 1980s, locals might have told you this: There won’t be a trophy case large enough to house all their hardware. At Oak Grove High School alone between 1986 and 1995, Shaon won three state wrestling titles, Ryan a baseball state championship… Read more »
