INTRODUCTION
The Lyle Community Sports and Sorts Booklet, represents a community and
Alumni effort in gathering information for this publication.
The concept of this booklet originated in the Lyle Kopper Kettle Cafe, by the
morning coffee group. Sports questions were being asked in this group and
they reluctantly admitted they didn't know everything. Thus the creation of
the Lyle Community Sports and Sorts History Booklet becomes available to
all of you sports enthusiasts. Contributors of this booklet are Charles Ekle,
Tip Taylor, Donald Patterson, Dave Young, Harland Balgeman, John
Moeller, Otto Nelson and Wayne Helgeson.
Realizing sports information was being lost or forgotten, a sports information
research plan was initiated. A communication network was established,
producing a wealth of information and interesting stories. The responses and
cooperation in putting together this booklet has been overwhelming.
We are lacking information, therefore, as you read this booklet, please write
down the additional information and send it to Randy Krulish, 801 Hollerud
Avenue, Lyle, Minnesota 55933.
Lyle sports history coordinators are Randy Krolish, Harold Rohne and Rod
Golberg.

1 870 - 1919
The founding of Lyle in 1 870 created a unique community of hardworking industrious
people, who eagerly established homesteads, built homes, and created a city. In horse and
buggy days, Lyle developed into a progressive business community. A network of families
and neighbors enjoyed social gatherings when work was done.
In 1 876, Lyle celebrated the nation's 1 00th anniversary by building its first public school
which opened in 1877. Railroads established a link with other communities to market
products made in Lyle, transport passengers, and communicate via wireless telegraph.
A strong sports tradition evolved next, generated in the desire to succeed, and the
determination to achieve a new way of life.
In 1 881, the Lyle City Park was developed to later include July 4th celebrations. The city
park added its Walk of Pride in 1 989.
Baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1 83 9 in Coopertown, Massachusetts. The
first known organized sport in Lyle was in 1 896 . A baseball team was formed, to begin
organized sports.
In 1 89 1 , another sport was invented by Dr. Jame Naismith in Springfield, Massachusettes.
This game was basketball, which attracted Lyle ladies at the tum of the century. Several
teams were organized due to high interest. An indoor facility was needed to play, so City
Hall was built in 1 906, with the upper floor becoming the gym.
The first 3 0 years of Lyle's history anchored its foundation and developmnt. The
willingness to try new things, and the determination to develop skills with abilities to
perform, were intense. Access to horseshoes provided the game of horseshoe pitching, a
popular family and social gathering event. It has prevailed. Horseshoe pitching was
invented in 1 50 AD. by the Roman Soldiers.
Baseball and basketball teams flourished in the early 1 900's. Athletic coordination was
awkward at first, but skills and techniques in the game made progress through continued
practice and playing games.

1 920 - 1 939
Following World War I, the roaring 20's ushered in an exciting era. The Model T and
Model A Ford were the means of transportation.
Baseball and basketball continued to be popular and girls kittenball was introduced. The
gals became fierce competitors and traveled long distances to play other teams.
The oldest person to contribute to this sports history was Oris Golberg, age 93, born in
1 902 . He identified his teammates through pictures and scorebooks. Oris and his
brothers, Harvey and Johnnel, became great baseball players.
The lady who contributed to this sports era was Katherine (Mortenson) Howard, a Lyle
High School graduate of 1 928. She shared some interesting stories about the good old
days.
The 1 93 0 depression years were hard times however, this did not deter the interest in
sports. Sports equipment was scarce so a high value was placed on preserving what they
had available. Bats were a precious item in those days.
The most influential person in Lyle sports started coaching and managing teams in this era,
Lloyd "Chico" Olson. He managed the girls kittenball team which launched his impact on
Lyle sports.

G,OLPERGj PITCHES
BRILLIANT GAME FOR 2ND VICTORY Locals Bombine Heavy Hitting
in 5th and 6th
Frames for Runs
BY TOM KOECK
Ideal baseball weather coupled with
a brl!llant pitching performance by
Phl! Golberg, aC8 right-hander, gave
Austin fans an enjoyable afternoon
yesterday, esreclaUy when the Packers
came through with a 3 to 0 victory
over the Owatonna Aces for
their second straight in the Southern
Minnesota League campaign.
Hurling a meager 6-hlt exhibition
that found him strikmg out 13 Owatonna
batsmlln, Golberg chalked his
second shutout victory of the season.
His baffling slants forced the Aces
to swing helplessly and only in the
ninth inning because of an error,
did the visitors get past second base.
Golberg's outstand1ng performance
was a duplication of his first appearance
at Faribault and the big
right-handel' yesterday lacked nothin
g in pitching skill.
2 Owatonna Flingers
Two Owatonna flingers stood the
mound duty for the visitors. Erickson.
rangy rif;ht-hander. had the
first shift until he was batted out
of the park in the sixth and Prange.
another right-hander. finished out
the game. Erickson was ticked for
seven bingles, while Prange weathered
his stay without issuing a single
hit. Erickson had three strikeouts
and the latter collect2d one.
It was an all-Austin day. The
locals were making their first appearance
at home and a record attendance
turned out. Flag raising
oeremonies in which the Herala
Newsboy band, boy scouts. city officials
and th club6 took part, preceded
the tegular pme.
AU was peaceful In the old bail
park until the fifth frame when suddenly
the locals exploded and brought
in their first counter that broke up
the heretofore tight, scoreless affair.
Hub Golberg, lanky first sacker, provided
fans with a thrill when he
parked a double out in center 'field,
but he overran second ba.se and got
caught at third, when Ekedal plastered
a slow bohble at Pitcher Erickson.
Ekedal was forced at second
ba..o;e when Nordly tG'.mc another
at Erickson and with two dcwn things
looked mighty dark.
It remained fol' "Black" Olson,
fireball third sacker, to put the final
touches on an eventful inning. still
lacking a little wind, when he was
knocked fiat the previous inning by
a charging Owatonnan on the baseline,
Olson shouldered Ills heavY
club, determined then and there to
sock the cover of! the ball. His first
pair of sWihgs started a mild dust

Thank You Fans!
Reflecting back over the 20 some years I've done the P A announcing for Lyle High
School sporting events, my mind is fIlled with so many memories. I think about some of
the great players and teams who have played for LHS . I hear the LHS band playing the
school fight song. I see coaches drawing up various strategies during timeouts. My mind
races with all the activities I've seen over the years, but one aspect seems to stick out above
the rest That is the tremendous support the Lyle community gives its teams year after
year.
The people of Lyle love their sports. They are very knowledgeable fans. It doesn't
matter if the teams are winning or losing, Lyle fans will be there to cheer thier teams on.
You can count on that Make no mistake about it, the people of Lyle think of the players as
their own. It is almost a sense of family. I've always been impressed by the range of ages
you can see in the stands at a Lyle game. You have the elementary students, the high
school students, parents, and many elderly people from the community show up to give
their support. The loyalty seems unmatched.
I believe sports is a very intregal part of a communitcy the size of Lyle. Sports
gives the people of Lyle a common bond. Wherever you go you hear people talking about
how their teams are doing. Lyle is a proud community and they most certainly are proud of
"THEIR" teams.
I would like to take this opportunity to salute the fans of Lyle. There have been
many great achievements by athletes and teams over the years, but the loyalty by the fans is
perhaps the greatest achievement of all. Lyle fans your support does not go unnoticed.
You are the real champions. Thank you !
Lyle sports fan,
Randy Krulish

Once again we were a top
contender in the conference

a very frustrating
loss to Pacelli in the
quarter finals of the district
tournament. W e will
miss the graduating seniors,
as they were an excellent
group of student
athletes to coach. Thanks
to the players, parents
and fans for a great season.

A The 1 990-9 1 girls basketball
team was very
young with only two returning
seniors. After losing
our first three games,
the rest of the season
seemed to be a long one.
With hard work and dedication,
we won our fourth
game and went on to be

All Conference - Dyan Lastine, Tammy Kenyon & Barbie ern Minny Conference. In
Price Honorable Mention - Tara Kenyon districts we beat Blooming

the next two games to
finish fourth. Overall, it

Lyle Lion volleyball continued to establish "firsts" with the
achievement of an overall winning record.
The results of 1991 were believed to be largely due to the
girls putting in time to improve their game in the off season.
The future appears to be bright for the Lion volleyball team,
although to continue to improve, the girls must continue to put
in the work in the off season.
I would like to thank Coach Fulton, the players, parents, and
fans for their part in the success of the 1991 season. Also, best
of luck to graduating seniors Barbie Price and Mary
Deutchman. - Coach Swanhorst

The 1 99 1 - 1992 Lyle girl' s basketball team went farther than it ever
did before by advancing to the Section 1A semifinals. The team set a
goal of winning the Southeastern Conference, but finished one game
short b y losing a tough game to Harmony. That didn't stop the girl s
from entering the sub- section 2A tournament with a fourth seed .
The first opponent for the Lady Lions was the Super L arks from
Grand Meadow . Lyle dominated the game, earning a game with the
number one seeded Stewartville Tigers, who expected " a trip back to
Rochester . " With an upset win over the Tigers, Lyle entered the
Championship game against Blooming Prairie. Lyle ran away with
the game and earned a berth in the section semifinals against
Rochester Lourdes . The surprising season ended there, but it was one
to remember.

The 1992 girls softball team had a 3-1
record in the early going, but with
injuries and a lack of experience the
wins became less .
The 1992 season can be thought of as
a learning experience to build on in the
future. Without any seniors on the
team, this young ballclub is sure to
improve and become a conference and
section threat.

"The 1993 football season was one of hard
work, dedication, and improvement. After an
impressive preseason scrimmage, we were
ready for the regular season. The first game,
where everything went right, we cruised by
Alden-Conger. That performance set the tone
and gave us momentum for the rest of the
season. With a total team effort the Lions were
able to pull out victories in exciting fashion,
highlighted by a thrilling 22 point comeback in
the opening round of playoffs versus
Glenville-Emmons. Lyle football loses seniors:
Craig, Taran, Jamie, Scott, Kevin, Brandon,
Dustin, Brian, and looks back on the season of
1993 as one that brought back the winning
attitude and the "Lion Pride" for future teams."
-Coach Buntj e

"The 1994 b aseball season was a season
of tough breaks. Many of the games
came down to the final inning with the

short. The season ended in a disappointing

To sum up the season, we
