The
team handily defeated all of their opponents, though with slightly
smaller margins than usual. First,
they took on Strasburg, winning 310-100. Next, they defeated Rappahannock County 250-120. However, due to the double-elimination format
of the tournament, Mason again faced Rappahannock in
the finals, winning 270-160.
Besides
the district title, coach Jamie Scharff
was awarded district coach of the year, and senior David Maher
was named district player of the year. Next
Saturday, the team, along with runner-up Rappahannock,
will travel to Gretna for
the Region B Tournament, where they will try to take home their
third straight regional title and a chance to return to the state
tournament. Several other members of the team will also
be competing in the second round of the NBC quiz show “It’s Academic” next
Saturday.
