Rockets Football Tackles Tigers
Highlights of the football game against Newton North on September 23, 2022.
It was quite the homecoming for the Needham Rockets Football team. After a slow start to the season, they needed a win, and what better place to rally than on their home soil? Newton North is always a staunch competitor, so they weren’t taking anything for granted when they took to the gridiron. They came to compete, and they delivered a strong game right from the start!
