Vineland High School Senior Mason Afanador was crowned Mr. Vineland late last week at the annual Mr. Vineland event. What makes this extra special is that Mason’s father Shawn Afanador was crowned Mr. Vineland exactly 30 years ago on the same stage. Mason performed the same song his father sang, LL Cool J’s “I Need Love.”

Mason plans to attend a four-year college to earn a degree in business management and to play football. His hobbies are football, snowboarding and running his own clothing brand.
