Christmas mistletoe is a tradition that has brought kissable moments to couples around the world.


During Christmas time there’s a story that comes with this parasitic plant. Whichever two people that are caught under the plant are supposed to kiss. It is considered to bestow life and fertility.


Senior Austin Barker said he hopes to take advantage of the mistletoe’s cupid like powers, “I want to kiss Bethany Farr under the mistletoe and just make it happen.”

Wrestling is a sport that requires an incredible amount of dedication and determination to excel at all levels. The workouts and training become the lives of the Dixie wrestlers from the moment tryouts begin and when the season ends in middle of February. Everyone is on their game at all practices and the strive for dominance in region will carry our team far.

December 1st is the magic day for all wrestlers. It marks the first match up of the year against Hurricane High School. "We've lost some key kids this year, but with the way our practices have been going the past couple weeks our team should be competitive", said veteran, senior wrestler Justin Crapo.

Dixie is known for their speed on the mat and knowledge of their opponents. Having a strategy against the individual opponent gives Dixie an upper hand on what moves to exercise and what moves to avoid.

This year’s Boy’s Basketball teams is stacked. It must be hard to wait to destroy every team that goes up against Dixie’s Flyers. 


The strong team has a great blend of sophomores, juniors, and seniors with the seniors leaders excited for this season and the opportunities to unite with the younger players.


Senior Deshon Brown shares this excitement of being a senior leader, “It’s got a lot of high expectations attached to it.”


But, like most teams, Brown said winning will define how fun this year's team has, “Win. Fun. It’s fun to win.” To make a team great it requires dedication, team work and effort, and a good attitude about everything thrown at the tightly knit basketball team.

Shoppers are getting their credit cards and cash ready. 


Black Friday and Cyber Monday are fast approaching and no matter what age, all need to buy gifts for loved ones.


Mrs. Gifford said, “I try to avoid shopping on that day. It’s too crazy. But my favorite store is Target.”


Black Friday is always the Friday after Thanksgiving, which means that Cyber Monday is always the Monday after Thanksgiving.


People are out in droves looking for deals trying to get their shopping done early and cheaply.
