![ECLIPSE. A solar eclipse is a rare event in which the moon is between Earth and the Sun, blocking the view of the sun. In other parts of the United States, the view of the Sun will be totally blocked, constituting whats called a total eclipse. A total eclipse is a completely different event that is another level of coolness. So if they [the students] have that chance, they should absolutely take the chance to see a total eclipse if they ever can. The next one in Minnesota will be the year 2099, Astronomy and Planetary Science teacher Joseph Martin said.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Drawing-8.sketchpad.png)

Boys hockey falls hard to #2 ranked team
At what would usually be a highly attended Saturday night boys hockey game, the few parents that filled the Drake Arena stands continued to cheer their team on as they suffered a hard loss to the Gentry Academy Stars. Although the Spartans started off strong, holding the Stars to a shutout until the 7th minute, after their first goal, the first two periods were filled with one Star goal after another. After 9 unanswered goals by the Stars though, the Spartans capitalized on a power play in the 10th minute of the 2nd period, as senior captain Michael Bagnoli connected with senior John Becker. “Losing 13-1 is better than losing 13-0” Becker said. The Spartans were then able to hold the Stars to just two goals in the third period for a final score of 13-1. The Spartans’ next home game is Feb 6 versus Southwest Christain Academy.

![HANDS, FEET AND MIND READY. I get inspired by just how far Ive come. Due to past injuries like knee arthritis, it was a struggle to even move my body and stuff. [After recovery,] it’s almost like ‘Okay, you actually can move your body now. Lets move it.’ So being able to build up my strength again motivates me, senior Delaney Devine said. Devine is in another injury at the moment, but she hope to get back into boxing once she recovers.
