And with a record of 9-1, how can you help being first? Victory abounds on Mason's courts, and While the eighth grade team couldn't clinch first place, they finished in a very satisfying second place with 7 Wins and 3 losses. The players, coached by Mr. Michael Miley, worked hard all year, and their near perfect results speak for themselves.
