Abaalmarinta La Sharafay

In kasta oo aysan waqtigaas ogeyn, Kooxda Jimicsiga Gabdhaha ee Minnetonka 1970-71 waxaa weligeed lagu xasuusan doonaa inay yihiin koox jebisay caqabadaha. Kooxda kaliya ma ahayn kooxdii ugu horreysay ee tartanta ciyaaraha gabdhaha ee Minnetonka, laakiin sidoo kale waxaa la aasaasay sannad ka hor dhaqan gelinta Cinwaanka IX, kaas oo mamnuucaya takoorka jinsiga ee ciyaaraha iyo hawlaha dugsiga sare. Siyaabo badan, kooxdani waa dhiirigelin u ah ciyaartoyda dumarka ah meel kasta, xitaa maanta.

Kahor 1970, fursadaha ciyaaraha ee gabdhaha aad bay u koobnaayeen. Barnaamij la yiraahdo Ururka Ciyaaraha Gabdhaha (GAA) wuxuu u oggolaaday gabdhaha inay ku ciyaaraan jawi aan tartan lahayn oo ay la ciyaaraan kooxo kale oo ku jira degmadooda. Ikhtiyaarka kale ee kaliya, iyo sidoo kale habka kaliya ee lagu kasban karo warqad ciyaaraha, wuxuu ahaa in la noqdo hoggaamiye farxadeed ciyaaraha kubadda cagta wiilasha iyo kubbadda kolayga.

Dhammaantood waxay bilaabeen inay isbeddelaan markii fasalka 1973 ee MHS la keenay. Labada dugsi ee Minnetonka Junior High Schools dabayaaqadii 60-meeyadii, macallimiinta waxbarashada jirdhiska waxay sameeyeen kooxo jimicsi (noocyada GAA). Markii gabdhahaasi ay gaareen dugsiga sare, waxay go'aansadeen inay u qalmaan wax ka badan. Waxay rabeen inay u tartamaan si dhab ah, waxayna rabeen in ardayda fasalkooda ay ku dhiirigeliyaan sida ay u sameeyeen ciyaaraha fudud ee wiilasha sannado badan.

"Haba yaraatee kama aanan fikirin inaan taariikh sameyno," ayay sharraxday Kristen McDougall, oo 73 jir ah. "Waxaan ahayn koox gabdho dhallinyaro ah oo bilaabay inay nafteena u istaagaan. Waxaan rabnay waxa wiilashu haystaan."

Kristen ayaa soo bandhigtay bandhig ay u samaysay guddiga dugsiga iyadoo matalaysa kooxda oo soo jeedinaysa fikradda ah in la sameeyo koox jimicsi oo heer sare ah oo gabdhaha ah oo tartan ku jira. Waxaa ku soo biiray dhowr jimicsi oo kale oo ay ku jiraan Kim (Griswold) Holmberg iyo Jody (Sheley) Schaak, kuwaas oo isugu yimid si ay ula kulmaan dugsiga una shaqaaleeyaan tababare xilli ciyaareedkoodii ugu horreeyay.

Dhanka kale, Allie Cronk, oo ahayd tababarihii hore ee kooxda GAA ee MME, ayaa u guurtay Jasiiradda Mercer, Washington iyadoo shaqo kale oo macallinimo ah haysata. Intii ay halkaas joogtay, waxay la shaqaysay dugsiga si ay u dejiso barnaamij jimicsi oo gabdhaha ah oo ka dhacaya Jasiiradda Mercer kaas oo u oggolaanaya kooxda inay kula tartanto kuwa kale shirka. Markii ay ku soo laabatay Dugsiga Sare ee Minnetonka sanadkii 1970, waxay go'aansatay inay siiso fursad la mid ah kooxdeedii hore ee MME hadda oo ay dhiganayeen dugsiga sare.

Jimicsi-yaqaannada, oo hadda Allie u ah tababarahooda cusub, waxay la shaqeeyeen agaasimaha ciyaaraha Walt West, kaasoo taageeray dadaalkooda ku aaddan abaabulka koox ka tirsan MHS. Markii dambe, iyagoo kaashanaya macallinka waxbarashada jimicsiga ee MHS Betsy Farness, waxay awoodeen inay helaan dharka jimicsiga, waqtiga jimicsiga, basaska, iyo mas'uuliyiinta tartamada si gabdhuhu u helaan waayo-aragnimo tayo leh. Dadaalkan kooxda ah ayay ku dhalatay kooxdii ugu horreysay ee tartanta haweenka ee ciyaaraha fudud ee Minnetonka.

"Uma maleynayo in midkeen naga mid ahi uu waqtigaas ogaaday in tani ay ahayd wax weyn!" ayay sharraxday Jody, oo ka mid ah ciyaartoyda jimicsiga. "Waxaan rabnay inaan qayb ka noqonno wax, horraantii 70-meeyadiina wax badan oo intaas la eg looma fidin gabdhaha, gaar ahaan kuwa ciyaaraha fudud."

Markii hore, helitaanka ogolaanshaha dugsiga way adkeyd. Sida Kristen u dhigtay, kooxaha wiilashu waxay inta badan xiisaynayeen inay daawadaan jimicsiga oo ku tababaranaya leotards marka loo eego inay ka tanaasuleen qayb ka mid ah goobtooda jimicsiga. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, si tartiib tartiib ah, caannimada iyo taageerada ciyaaraha gabdhaha ayaa koray. Isla sannadkaas, dugsiyada sare ee kale ee aagga, oo ay ku jiraan Eden Prairie, Edina, iyo Armstrong, waxay bilaabeen kooxo jimicsi oo u gaar ah. Tani waxay u ogolaatay gabdhaha inay la tartamaan kooxaha ka baxsan dugsigooda sare, iyagoo runtii khibradooda ka soocay kooxihii hore ee GAA. Barnaamijku wuu bilaabmay, wuxuuna bilaabay inuu si aad ah ugu sii gudbo waayo-aragnimada ciyaaraha oo inta badan loo qoondeeyay kooxaha wiilasha. Xitaa waxyaabaha fudud, sida haysashada dharka rasmiga ah oo leh astaanta dugsiga, iyo helitaanka boodhadhka nasiibka wanaagsan ee ardayda kale maalmaha kulanka, waxay u muuqdeen kuwo kacaan u ah gabdhaha wakhtigaas.

Kooxdu waxay ahayd, welina aad ugu mahadcelinaysaa shaqada adag ee Allie ay gelisay si ay ciyaartooda uga dhigto mid suurtogal ah oo aan ahayn oo keliya, laakiin sidoo kale mid lagu raaxaysto oo la xasuusto. "Waxay ahayd qalbiga iyo nafta kooxda. Waxay na dareensiisay inaan si isku mid ah muhiim u nahay oo loo jecel yahay," ayay tiri Jody. Kristen way ku raacsan tahay, iyadoo raacisay in Tababare Allie "uu dalbaday tababar adag iyo tartan la mid ah kan ay tababarayaashu u sameeyeen kooxaha wiilasha, laakiin uu ku sameeyay diirimaad iyo dhiirigelin."

Ka dib markii ay hogaaminaysay kooxda jimicsiga, fursado kale oo tartan ah oo loogu talagalay gabdhaha ayaa ka soo baxay Minnetonka. Sannadkii xigay, barnaamijyo orod iyo tenis ah ayaa laga sameeyay dugsiga sare. Ka dib markii Title IX la ansixiyay 1972, Minnesota State High School League waxay dhistay qayb matasha ciyaaraha gabdhaha, oo ay hoggaaminaysay Dorothy McIntyre oo ka tirsan Eden Prairie, oo ahayd haweeneydii ugu horreysay ee horyaalka shaqaaleysiisay. Iyada oo taageero ka heshay, tartankii ugu horreeyay ee jimicsiga iyo kubbadda laliska ee gobolka oo dhan sanadkii 1974. Maanta, ciyaaraha gabdhuhu aad bay u caan baxeen oo dad badan xitaa ma oga in taasi aysan had iyo jeer ahayn xaaladdu.

"Maanta, tayada ciyaaraha fudud ee dumarka ayaa u gudubtay heer aad u sarreeya. Dad badan ayay shaqo badan ka qaadatay si ay u gaarto heerkaas, iyo sidoo kale dadweynaha si ay u helaan oo ay u ixtiraamaan xirfadaha cayaaryahanka dumarka ah," ayay ku soo gabagabaysay Tababare Allie. "Gabdhaha maanta ma oga in ay jirtay waqti aysan gabdhuhu ku tartami karin ciyaaraha dugsiga sare. Hadda, haddii aad rabto inaad iska diiwaan geliso koox? Waa halkaas. Waa muhiim in qof walba uu xasuusto oo uu sharfo Dorothy McIntyre oo ka tirsan MSHSL, hoggaamiyeyaasha dugsiga, tababarayaasha, waalidiinta, mas'uuliyiinta, iyo ciyaartoyda kale ee dhammaantood si adag u shaqeeyay si ay ciyaaraha gabdhaha u gaarsiiyaan heerka ugu sarreeya ee ay maanta tahay."
