That's a headline that doesn't mean much to Hoya fans.
John Mason was the long-time Syracuse scorekeeper. One of the ironies of the great Georgetown-Syracuse rivalry was that both Mason, and Georgetown's scorekeeper, Jim Gilroy, hailed from the same small village (Greene, pop. 1,580) in upstate New York. John died suddenly at home last week. He was a good man. He will be missed.
