“The game was very close,” said MasterMinds coach and math teacher Yuriy Berin, “but then our team captain, Phoebe Mammoser, answered the very last question correctly to seal the victory!”

Mr. Berin added that “our students were very successful answering questions about US History, English Literature, Geography, Mathematics and Chemistry.”

Congratulations Watervliet MasterMinds team members: Neya Harris and Milo Scattareggia, both freshmen; Phoebe Mammoser, a junior; and Michael Bendon, a senior.
