We also have practice once or twice a week.” When asked her favorite part of being on the team, Joyce responded, “Although my team didn’t get a preseason, I think the Masterman badminton team has a good sense of community where the upperclassmen and underclassmen work well together and form good relationships.”
Baseball: Masterman’s baseball team has had a great season this year, currently 8-0. “We have a bunch of well-skilled athletes. We are currently undefeated. We have great team chemistry and great success.” stated baseball player Ahsaan Mangum (10-3). “I feel like baseball is a team-centered sport in a sense that one person can do well but there are also eight other players with you, so knowing you have a group contributing helps. There is no ‘I’ in ‘team.’”
