Tis’ the season of fire and flames! Despite the wintry cold and icy billowing breezes, there’s one place in Owasso that stays fiercely fiery year-round. Fire N’ The Hole, a specialty hot sauce business on Main Street, brings an entirely new meaning to the worlds of spicy and savory sustenance. But what really lies inside these gleaming bottles of death stacked upon the scary shelves in the store?

All Owasso High School students know ClassLink, yet none use it. While that is a generalization, this journalist personally does not know a single person who uses this application that, in an attempt to be a helpful resource for students and teachers alike, has made our Chromebooks the least efficient they’ve ever been. 

For students of the brick-smothered, windowless, beige-painted Owasso High School, staying focused in class can be a difficult task.

If you are someone who brings your own lunch to school, you are probably familiar with the less than ideal microwave situation. Long lines at limited microwaves leave you with a curtailed eating time, which is frustrating considering the already short lunch times that we have.

The amount of chicken in Owasso’s growing suburban community continues to soar. What sets these rooster-loving, cow-opposing eateries apart from the next ones across the block? After close examination, a trip around the town and a stomach full of comfort food, I found out so you wouldn’t have to.

The Owasso High School mock trial team traveled to Denver over fall break, and it was a stunning success.
