PUTTING YOUR SKILLS ON DISPLAY
Legion ball players get a look at scouting camp By COLE BENZ
Record Editor A trio of Hettinger baseball players put their talents on display for scouts of the highest level during a camp in Mandan a few weeks ago. Head legion baseball coach Nolan Dix got a call from Don Hanson, an area talent scout for Major League Baseball’s Minnesota Twins and local affiliate of the Hoopster basketball magazine, inviting him and some of his players to the camp on Wednesday, June 22. The camp has a long history of North Dakota players attending who’ve even-

Dix, along with his son Jacob, Jarred Mattis, and Hudson Pierce woke up and hit the road bright and early at 5 a.m. to arrive on time, the camp opened at 8 a.m. CST.

Ball players from across the state, from all different sized communities attended. Dix estimated that between 60-70 kids were in attendance. He said that his players were a little nervous right away, something the players themselves admitted to. But they quickly shook their jitters away after hitting the field and throwing the ball around. The day started out with some intro-
