(May 7, 2012) - Park view graduate Andrew Mason is  Male Athlete of the Month for Garrett College DII NJCAA baseball team.  Head Coach Eric Hallenbeck says Andrew (Drew) Mason  is a big reason why the Garrett Lakers were 6-3 this month.  He’s hitting .387, driving in runs, and playing solid defense in the outfield. But more importantly, he is a teammate and has a real passion for the game. 

Here are a few of Coach Hallenbeck quotes about Andrew "He gives 100 percent every day"; “It’s the intangibles that Drew posses that make him an excellent player. Good teammate, unselfish, coachable, high athletic IQ, tremendous work ethic. He plays the game the way it should be played.” Hallenbeck also said Mason is not only a quality baseball player but a quality person as well.
