The Mustangs handily won their first
round match, defeating Luray 270-30. They
faced tougher competition from Rappahannock County in
the next round but still won 260-190. In
the semifinals, the Mason team beat Randolph-Henry 270-125 to advance
to the finals, where they again faced Rappahannock. Despite some discussion of the Rappahannock team
forfeiting, the Bull Run district rivals
faced off, with Mason coming out with a score of 285-95 as the
Region B champions. Both teams will travel to William and Mary
for the state tournament on February 24, where the GM team will
vie for the title that eluded them last year.
