It’s homecoming for Locust Grove High School on Friday night, but the small town in Oklahoma is more concerned about the return of Mason and Jason.
UNT quarterback Mason Fine and tight end Jason Pirtle grew up in the Locust Grove area. Fine is technically from Peggs, Oklahoma, an even smaller town connected to Locust Grove that has only a kindergarten-eighth grade school. When Fine moved to Locust Grove High School as a freshman, the duo immediately clicked and became superstars in the town during the next four years. Saturday, Fine and Pirtle will play the closest to Locust Grove they ever will in their college careers when the Mean Green take on Arkansas at 3 p.
