Rockets Football Continues Their Charge
September 15, 2023
• The Rockets light up the gridiron for a Week 2 matchup against Lincoln Sudbury.
On a rare, Thursday night game, the Needham High School Varsity Football team may have been looking for a way to keep things light. The early part of their season is loaded with heavy-hitting teams, and they entered the game as distinct underdogs. They would not stay there for long, however, as they led the game with a few strong possessions that paid off. The Warriors would fight their way back, but would it be enough? Kristen Connors has the highlights.
