(Feb. 4, 2010) The junior varsity boys basketball team split two games this week, winning in overtime over Pope John Paul II at home Saturday, 44-41, before falling at Cape Cod Tech Monday, 54-33.

The Whalers fell to 3-6 this season with four games remaining on the schedule. Nantucket will visit Sturgis next Tuesday before hosting Mashpee Thursday.
