We’re a public high school. We don’t pick and choose who comes, but if we did, we would choose these guys. Absolutely love these boys. Our dudes are tough, they love each other, and they play with all our effort for four quarters. You did Needham proud. On to Wellesley.

Good stuff, @Raider_FB. Anyone talking about ditching Thanksgiving games has never played in or been a part of the Needham vs Wellesley tradition. Unbelievable experience for these young men to represent their towns and join the oldest public high school rivalry in the country.
Thanksgiving football means something different in today’s high school sports landscape. I asked @MetroWestSports coaches, “Do we still need it?” Here’s what they said

Winter sports start today!. To guys who "lift year-round" for football - love your passion, not your process. Be a multi-sport athlete. Track gets you faster, wrestling teaches leverage, hockey/basketball teach you to find open space. Sports help you become a better athlete.

His son Tony DiCicco has done an outstanding job as our DC. Our starting defense has given up 64 points and scored 26 points on the year under his stewardship. I know Dave is smiling down enjoying this Needham run and his son's part in it. 🚀🏈💪.
Needham was certainly concerned about that possibility three years ago but this group of kids decided it meant more to play for their hometown and I love it. Just wish my buddy Dave DiCicco was around to see his Rockets soar.

A big reason why we are where we are. High character, non-stop motor, quick athlete with the ability to make plays underneath, burn it deep, or block like a 200 lber. Jase does it all.
Finished our regular season Friday w/a win putting us at 7-1! I couldnt have asked for a better regular season for my senior year. Proud of what the team has accomplished this Fall. Thankful to my coaches & teammates! Excited to see what we do in the playoffs! @CoachKopcso #LEO
