 The 12U Mineral Area American Baseball team competed in the State Tournament in Scott City, Missouri against some tough teams and earned a spot into the World Series by taking a well earned 2nd Place.

The team members consist of players that live in Potosi, Belgrade, Caledonia, Park Hills, Arcadia Valley, Bismarck and Farmington. They will all be traveling to Branson, Missouri to represent the state of Missouri in the 12/70 Cal Ripken World Series in August.

The team is doing some fund raising prior to the trip. Any monetary donation would be greatly appreciated and would help each team member with traveling expenses. Your generosity will also enable them to have the chance to build life-long friendships with teammates, experience great pride in representing their hometown, and participate in what will be an opportunity of a lifetime.

Donations may be accepted at any of the Belgrade Bank locations under “Mineral Area 12U Americans”. An online option is available thru GoFundMe at https://gofund.me/96a9511c.

Thank you in advance for supporting the 12U Mineral Area Americans Baseball team!

The community wishes the team the ‘Best of Luck’ in Branson.
