Ellery Bresnahan, the kid is a star already, a left handed catcher, when I first saw him catching against VC I thought " are you kidding me?" a left handed catcher? Then I seen him play, personally I thought he was the best all around catcher in the region this year, nothing got by the kid, he was quick as a cat, he hit well has a good arm and is fast. I listened to the game on radio vs LLM and the announcer was raving about him.
I personally know the Casselton legion coach, I know that if it was up to him that Bresnahan would be playing legion and I'm sure starting somewhere, but I here there is alot of kids on they're legion team and they don't want to ruffle any feathers and last plan was he's playing babe ruth.
As far as other players in the area that I know of, I hear there's a kid from Lisbon who is 15 that throws very hard, sorry don't know his name. Look for Jaden Keys from VC to hit very well this year in babe ruth, he has some varsity ball experience in HS and mashed the ball well last year in babe ruth including some HR's.
VC has a couple of 14 yr olds that have alot of promise as well, but I'm not going to put their names on here yet, but ones 6'4" and is starting to throw pretty hard, he's getting some good coaching and with time he could really blossom. The others a kid who hit the ball really well this spring with a wood bat and switching to aluminum I look for him to really mash the ball, he's more of a Bresnahan mold, small, wiry, fast and a good arm, he's only 14.
But right now, I'm thinking Bresnahan will dominate Babe Ruth.

Not sure which number the district is, I just know it's LaMoure, Oakes, Lisbon, Edgeley and Ellendale. I think thats all the teams but there might be 1 more. I was talking to the LaMoure legion coach and he said their numbers really fall after this year, in fact next year for high school they'll be having to play freshman to have team. But, they have had one heck of a run down there.

They have a true ace in Mittleider and also a very solid #2, they hit the ball very good and all there scores have been lopsided. I heard they went to a tourney in Omaha last weekend, curious to see how they did there against bigger competition.
There coach needs to learn a few things about the unwritten rules, he was double stealing with a 14 run lead with his ace on the mound in one game and also was doing it in another blowout, I'm thinking he just doesn't get it more than he's trying to run it up.
Casselton would be the 2nd best team I've seen, they're pretty solid but definately a step behind Lisbon.

Did Bresnahan pitch for Casselton? So, based on what I've seen that's the way I seen it but obviously with Casselton sweeping Lisbon you have to put them at the top in the East.

Bresnahan did not throw for Casselton and Mittleider did not throw for Lisbon.

Dakota Prairie had the base's loaded twice on Bresnahan, but he was able to pitch his way out of it. Dakota Prairie threw Tyrel Harding for 6, and Colton Anderson for 5.
Dakota Prairie, Casselton, Lisbon, Grafton and St. Thomas are all looking like good teams from what I have heard an seen. Carrington and Harvey both got good ball clubs. These are the teams have I seen so far so that's all I am going off of. Carrington has a solid hitting lineup while Harvey has two solid arms.
Grafton and St. Thomas are battling to see who wins the Northern Valley. Both teams are very good, most of St. Thomas's legion team are babe ruth kids.
In my opinion, seeing Bresnahan this year and last year. He is probably the best overall player in Babe Ruth. Middlieter is pretty good, but Bresnahan is the total package.
