Nine of Mason’s 13 entered wrestlers placed in the top four of their weight class.

The Mustangs will play at 9:30 p.m. to open the Joe Cascio Holiday Classic at Falls Church High School tonight.

The Mustangs came up short by three points after a sleepy second and third quarter put them in the deep hole.

The bucket capped off a miraculous 8-2 run in the closing 45 seconds and allowed Mason to take a bow (and a breath).
