The Whalers recorded a resounding 35-8 victory over the Crusaders. Running back David Guillen-Taveras scored four touchdowns on the ground, with Arann Hanlon adding one more. The Whalers are next scheduled to play, at home again, on Saturday, September 20 at Nantucket High School’s Vito Capizzo Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 1:30 pm.
