Abaalmarinta La Sharafay

U qalmidda tartanka kooxda dugsiyada sare ee gobolka ee ciyaar kasta iyo waqti kasta waa guul weyn, maadaama guushan ay aad u qadarinayso oo ay wadaagaan kooxda lafteeda iyo sidoo kale taageerayaasha iyo taageerayaasha bulshada.

Haddana, marka ay timaado jahwareerka ku xeeran tartan kasta oo dugsi sare oo gobolka ah oo ka dhaca Minnesota, malaha weligeed ma jirin, mana jiri doonto, wax la mid ah dareenka gobolka oo dhan ee tartanka kubbadda kolayga ee wiilasha uu soo jiitay sannadihii 1950-meeyadii iyo 1960-meeyadii.

Saddex maalmood gudahood bishii Maarso, 18,000 ilaa 19,000 oo taageerayaal ah ayaa caadi ahaan isugu soo ururay Williams Arena oo ku taal Jaamacadda Minnesota kulan kasta, iyagoo daawanaya riwaayadda oo ka dhacaysa tartan siddeed kooxood ah oo aan loo qaybin tirada iskuulka. Gobolka oo dhan, sida muuqata, wuxuu raacay ficilka iyada oo loo marayo telefishin iyo raadiyo iyo sidoo kale cinwaanno waaweyn oo ku dhawaad ​​​​wargeys kasta.

Iyada oo ku jirta bartamaha "waqtigan dahabiga ah," kooxda wiilasha Minnetonka ee 1965, oo ka soo kabtay xilli ciyaareed aan fiicnayn sannadkii ka horreeyay, waxay sameeyeen ciyaar cajiib ah, oo aan macquul ahayn, iyagoo ku orday tartamada degmada iyo gobolka ka hor inta aysan xilli ciyaareedka ku soo gabagabeynin horyaalnimada gobolka, iyagoo ka adkaaday Faribault, 71-60, ciyaartii horyaalka.

Waallida maxalliga ah ayaa bilaabatay inay sii xoogaysato ka dib markii Skippers ay Edina kaga badisay 63-53 semi-finalka Degmada 18 - waxoogaa naxdin leh maadaama Edina ay ahayd kooxda ugu cadcad inay ku guuleysato gobolka oo ay laba jeer ka adkaatay Skippers inta lagu jiro jadwalka Shirka Lake. Markii la gaaray finalka degmada, waxay u muuqatay in Skippers ay noqon karaan koox qaddarin ah, waxayna ka adkaadeen koox kale oo awood leh, Richfield.

"Uma maleynayo in annaga oo ah taageerayaal iyo arday aan ka fikireynay inaan gaarno heer aan ku dhawaaqno markii degmooyinku bilaabmeen, sababtoo ah waa inaan ka adkaano Edina iyo Richfield," ayuu xasuustaa madaxweynihii fasalka MHS ee 1965 Don Mark, kaasoo ciyaaray ciyaar kasta marka laga reebo hal sanadkaas, "Laakiin waxaan xasuustaa in badan oo naga mid ah ay ka fikirayeen haddii aan ka gudbi karno degmada, waxaa laga yaabaa inaan fursad helno. Ciyaartoyda kooxdana runtii waxay bilaabeen inay kor u kacaan. Haddii mid ka mid ah ay koox kale xirto, qof kale ayaa soo bixi lahaa ciyaar weyn."

Ka dib markii ay qabatay tartanka afar kooxood oo ka kooban Gobolka 5aad isla markaana ay shaabadeysay tikidhkii ay ku aadi lahayd Williams Arena, tartanka ayaa ka bilowday Degmada Dugsiga Minnetonka oo dhan. Dibadbax ballaaran oo ka dhacay Dugsiyada Sare ee Minnetonka ayaa wiilasha u diray bartamaha magaalada Minneapolis iyo gurigooda inta badan toddobaadka, oo ah Curtis Hotel.

"Waxaan u maleynayaa inaan dhammaanteen ogaanay in ka hadalka ay ahayd wax gaar ah, laakiin ma hubo in annaga, ciyaartoy ahaan, aan fahamnay baaxadda sida ay noqon doonto in lagu ciyaaro tartanka," ayuu yiri Paul Knight, oo ah weeraryahan kooxda ka tirsan. "Waxaan ku sugnayn Curtis Hotel waxaana ka go'doonsannay dhammaan xiisaha. Dabcan, markii aan garoonka ku orodnay oo aan aragnay 18,000 oo qof, waa hagaag, way ku yaabisay."

Sida la xusay, Skippers, tababaraha kooxda Earl Christ iyo kaaliyaha Einer Anderson, ayaa xilli ciyaareedkii hore soo maray xaalad aan fiicnayn. Laakiin dabayshu way is beddeshay oo waxay ku qasabtay dhowr ciyaartoy inay kooxdu bilowdo sannadkii 1964-65.

Mid ka mid ah wuxuu ahaa Knight, oo ahaa arday 6-foot-6 ah oo ka yimid Koonfurta California. Wuxuu xoojiyay safka hore oo horey u ahaa Bob Abel oo 6-foot-6 ah. Kooxdu waxay sidoo kale ku dartay Arthur "Buckey" Ives, oo ah ilaaliye toogasho fiiqan leh oo ku soo koray aagga Minnetonka laakiin sannadkii hore ku qaatay Wisconsin. Wuxuu ku jiray garoon gadaal ah oo uu ku jiray Jerry Marquardt oo kubadda gacanta ku hayey.

"Helitaanka labadaas ciyaaryahan runtii way na caawisay," Austin ayaa ka yiri Ives iyo Knight. "Kadibna si aad ugu guuleysato gobolka, waa wax aadan waligaa ilaawi doonin."

Si loo fahmo macnaha magaca gobolku u leeyahay deegaanka wakhtigaas, waa in la xasuusto in Degmada Dugsiga Minnetonka ay ahayd hay'ad cusub, oo la bilaabay 14 sano ka hor iyada oo la isku daray dhowr degmo dugsiyeed oo yaryar iyo dugsiyada sare ee Excelsior iyo Deephaven. Xaafadaha yaryar, xaafadaha yaryar, magaalooyinka yaryar iyo dhul beereed badan ayaa ka koobnaa aagga.

"Waxaan u maleynayaa inay ahayd dhacdo xiiso leh oo loogu talagalay ardayda iyo sidoo kale bulshada," ayuu yiri Mark. "Halkii ay ka ahaan lahaayeen Cottagewood, Deephaven ama Excelsior, dadku waxay u sacab tumayeen Dugsiga Sare ee Minnetonka iyo Degmada Dugsiga Minnetonka."

Marka laga hadlayo Fasalka '65, horyaalka kubbadda kolayga ee gobolka wuxuu ahaa "bandhig" sanad guul leh oo aan ahayn oo keliya ciyaaraha fudud, laakiin sidoo kale ruuxa dugsiga, dhacdooyinka bulshada iyo tacliinta, sida uu sheegay Mark.

"Marka fasalkeenu uu maanta isu yimaado, horyaalka kubbadda kolayga iyo sidoo kale duufaantii habeenkii ka horreeyay Ballan-qaadkayagu waa xusuusta ugu weyn," ayay tiri Sharon (Haley) Hermel, oo hore u ahayd hoggaamiye farxadeed oo maanta ka caawisa abaabulka dib-u-mideynta fasallada,. Marka laga hadlayo ka qaybgalka tartanka laftiisa, waxay tiri: "Waxaan xasuustaa wax walba inay ahaayeen kuwo cajiib ah, oo niyad jab leh," ayay raacisay ka qaybgalka tartanka gobolka.

Ka dib markii horyaalnimadu ay soo gashay buugga, Skippers-ku waxay ku soo laabteen Dugsiga Sare ee Minnetonka maalintii xigtay si ay u sameeyaan dhoolatus ballaaran, iyadoo dadku ay ku safreen waddooyinka maxalliga ah, Wadada Weyn ee 7 iyo bartamaha magaalada Excelsior. Ciyaartoydu waxay gacan haatiyeen baabuurta dab-damiska ee dusha sare ku waday dadkii badnaa oo galay taariikhda maxalliga ah.
