Boys Lacrosse Team Honored At State House For State Title

The Nantucket boys lacrosse team was honored Thursday afternoon at the Massachusetts State House for their Div. 4 state championship victory over the Sandwich Blue Knights 7-6 on June 15 at Barnstable High School.

The players and coaches were invited to tour the state house while speaking with Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, Rep. Dylan Fernandes, and Sen. Julian Cyr.

The Whaler's state championship was the first in program history and the first state title for any Nantucket High School sports team since the Whaler football team won the Super Bowl in 2011 - 13 years ago against Boston Latin Academy.

Nantucket finished their season 21-1. They lost just one of their 17 regular season games - a 13-6 defeat at the hands of the Falmouth Clippers on the road April 9.

The Whalers went on to play 19 more games after that loss and won every one of them including five postseason games and a rematch against Falmouth at home in the regular season on May 2 by a score of 8-4.
