![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)

Senior Charlie Hooley fakes a pass to the post in the Spartan’s 58-55 Saturday win against the Lourdes Eagle’s.
The boys varsity basketball team improved their record with a tight 58-55 win against the Lourdes Eagles on Saturday.
“It’s a big win. It was really important for the team and we came together and played well. It was close, but we got it in the end,” senior Ryan Peacock said.
In what turned out to be a very close and exciting game, Dalante Peyton scored 27 points. Making five three-pointers in the first half, he led the team to victory.
“He’s a very good player and shooter; I’m happy for him. He’s a big part of this team,” Peacock said.
The games started out with a Spartan lead. At half-time, the Spartans had a lead of 35-24. As the second half began, though, Lourdes turned it on. With an impressive post play, the Eagles managed to bring the deficit down to just seven points with eight minutes left. This put the Spartans in a tough position, and slowly the Eagles took a 51-50 lead. Right after that it was as though the Spartans turned a switch back on. Seniors Dalante Peyton and Kent Hanson both made crucial shots to regain the lead. From there the Spartans contained the Eagles and pulled out a 58-55 win.
Junior varsity and C team basketball had their own games against the Eagles; both teams lost: Junior Varsity 39-55 and C team 56-49. JV had a tough game. Trailing 30-9 at half they managed to make a slight comeback but, in the end, it wasn’t enough. C team had a fairly even game except for a run from Lourdes where they took an 18 point lead.
The boys basketball teams will face New Life Academy on Nov. 28.
