At the regional contest in Portland, Dylan made 22 out of 25 free throw shots to secure his spot at nationals. Boys and girls from ages 8 to 13 will compete in the 39th annual event on Saturday that originated in Corvallis, Oregon when an Elks member noticed younger grade school kids being left out of basketball play at a local gymnasium/KHQ.
