GIRLS BASKETBALL DISTRICT CHAMPIONS!


The Mason girl’s basketball team won its first district title since 2001 Saturday at Harrison High School. The Lady Comets never trailed in the contest defeating Chaminade-Julienne by a score of 52-49. Mason advances to the regional semifinals against top-ranked Mount Notre Dame (23-1) at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday, March 10, at Wright State University's Nutter Center.
“The real keys to the game for us was our outstanding shooting, especially in the first half,” said Rob Matula, Mason’s head coach. “The girls have worked hard and it’s nice to see them rewarded for their efforts.” Mason scorched the nets shooting 57.6 percent from the field and making six-3-pointers from behind the arc.
Senior Cara Werner led the Comets with 14 points, while junior Kayla Lamotte added 12 and Michaelea Kleist had seven points, 12 boards, six assists and three blocked shots. Hillary Melnick chipped in nine points off the bench.
Mason went to the state finals in 1999 and 2000, winning the championship in the 2000 season. “It has been a trip getting back,” said senior Kleist. “We had to start over and rebuild, but we look at our program’s history and we want to reach that.”
The Comets will have a big challenge ahead of them on Tuesday facing the Associated Press’ No. 1-ranked team and three-time defending state champion. MND has won 10 games in a row since suffering its only loss of the season, against University School of New Jersey on Jan. 18. The Lady Comets have a 10-game winning streak of their own extending their overall season record to 19-4. Mason’s last loss came on January 24th at the hands of the Lakota West Firebirds by a score of 45-37. The Comets are one of 16 Division 1 girls team still alive in the post-season.

Lady Comets Face States Top Ranked Team

The Comets enter tonight's District Finals with one of the best records in the history of the girls basketball program. Not since the 2000 State Championship season have the Lady Comets posted such a winning record. Mason has done it without the superstars of the Michelle Munoz era. A combination of balanced scoring, defense and team chemistry have been the keys to the Lady Comets success.

The 3-time defending champion Cougars enter the contest with a record of 23-1, ranked number in the state and 21st in the country. They have won 4 out of the last five OHSAA Women's State Championships.

The first quater of action the Comets had some early "nerve issues." MND jumped out to a 13-4 lead after the Comets pulled within 1. The Comets struggled to find any rhythm or consistency and at the end of the 1st quarter trailed 17-5.

MND opened a big lead in the 2nd quarter that the Comets couldn't cut into. Mason was limited to one shot which usually was well guarded and off balance. The Cougars outside shooting range afforded many MND inside scoing opportunities. Going into the locker room MND led 30-14. Michaelea Kleist's 8 points led the Comets.

The Comets opened the 2nd half with a 7-0 run and narrowed the Cougar lead to 9. But MND was able to hold off the Mason attempt to get back in the game and maintained a 38-24 lead after 3.

In the final quater a relentless MND defense kept the Comets from any thoughts of an upset. The Mason girls certainly had no reason to hang their heads. A regional semi-final appearance, District Title and 19-5 record will help the Comets continue to build championship teams well into the future at Mason.

Senior Michaelea Kleist ended her career in typical fashion with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds. Five other seniors, Egan Kelsey, Cara Werner, Kinsey Bryant-Lees, Meg Roussos and Ednekqwa Lang played their last game as Comets.

CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT SEASON!

Girl’s Swim Team Wins Classic Title


The Mason Girl’s Swimming Team won their first ever Coaches Classic this past weekend against some the top high school swimming programs from Southwestern Ohio. The Comets bested perennial swimming powerhouses such as Ursuline Academy, Turpin and Sycamore in route to amassing a team score of 458 points, over forty better than 2nd place Centerville.

Junior Danielle Jansen was the overall champion in the 500 and 100 freestyle events. The Comets won three relays. The team of Mary Wunderle, Morgan Emter, Danielle Jansen and Cari Caprio won the 400 medley relay. Jansen, Caprio, Wunderle, and Kayla Wiemers won the 200 freestyle. Jansen, Caprio, Wunderle, and Breanne Keenan were winners in the 400 freestyle relay.


“We knew if we swam well we could finish in the top 3,” said head Coach Mark Sullivan. “After we won the 400 medley relay the girls got really excited and knew they could win. I did not expect for us to swim this well considering where we are in our season, with our training. Overall, it was a great team win. Many of the girls stepped up and competed throughout the weekend.”


The Mason boy’s team finished 8th overall at the Classic. Highlights and individual results can be found at Masoncomets.org under results or at www.swimmeet.com.

COMETS WIN GMC!

The Mason Boys Bowling Team won the program’s first ever GMC Championship on Tuesday at Mason Bowl. The bowling Comets defeated a tough Middletown team by the slimmest of margins, 23 pins (2959-2936). Mason finished an incredible regular season, undefeated, with an overall record of 13-0 (9-0 GMC). After a third place finish in the league last year, no one expected the upstart Comets to win it all. "The Mason boys have had a magical season as evidenced by the kind of scores we were able to put up Tuesday," said head coach Joe Riestenberg. "We were just able to stay ahead of the Middies who also had a terrific day." The Comets were led by Chuck Hammond’s two outstanding games of 259 and 247. Super sophomore Carson Turjanica had the second best series with a 436, Mark Allen followed him with a 431. Mason finished the day with a team average of 211. Other members of the varsity roster include Ryan Ackerman, Aaron Markvan, Taylor Neiman, Ryan Rocheck, Dan Romine and Lee Scott. "The best thing about this season is that there are no weak links," said Riestenberg. "The team has 9 bowlers all averaging over 180. We have 5 starters in the top 20 in the league. This has been the most consistent group of bowlers that Mason has ever seen." The Comets now wait patiently for the post season to begin with sectional and district competitions looming. Mason is slated to open the first round of the tournament on February 20th at Mason Bowl. Hats off, congratulations and good luck to Coach Riestenberg and the Mason bowlers!
