Kyle Goslee was pretty much Mr. Everything in high school, starring in football, basketball and baseball at NRHEG.
Since then, he made his mark in another sport.
Goslee established himself as one of the best in the nation at fast-pitch softball, and in August he was honored as such by being named to the North American Fastpitch Association Hall of Fame during the NAFA World Series at Caswell Park in Mankato.
A 1996 graduate of NRHEG, Goslee got plenty of athletic support in high school from his parents, Keith and Marilyn, and sister Melanie. Keith passed in 2005. Marilyn remarried and she and Bob Jurrens live in Longville, Minn. Melanie, a CPA at Streaters in Albert Lea, is married to Scott Crabtree, a Minnesota State Trooper, and they live in Geneva with daughters Emily and Hanna.

Retired NRHEG baseball coach Jeff Reese will no longer be retired next spring. He’s been hired as the varsity baseball coach at Mankato Loyola.
Reese, 61, who coached New Richland teams for 35 years, is a Hall of Fame coach who ranks ninth in the state all time with 457 victories.
"I've coached against Loyola, and it always seemed like a good, solid program," Reese told the Mankato Free Press. "I think it's a good fit, and I'm excited to get back into coaching. I missed coaching and thought I had a few more years in me. Working with kids keeps you young, and I missed the camaraderie with other coaches and umpires. Baseball has been very good to me, and I'd like to give back what I can."
The baseball field in town was named after Reese and his late wife, Carol, this spring.
