Big opening night win for the Rockets over a tough Natick squad. Defense was stout holding Natick to only two field goals. After a slow start, Needham’s offense came alive and closed out the game with a clock eating drive. School spirit was over the top. 🙏 for all the support.

We are all 0-0. Time to “Embrace the corner!” No excuses. No easy way out. Put in the work and execute like your life depends on it.
It’s playoffs, we’re all 0-0, and we’re ALL “backed into a corner”!

The entire Needham football community sends our thoughts and prayers out to Damar Hamlin and his family. 🙏🙏.
Central Catholic High School is praying for the well being and swift recovery of Damar Hamlin, ‘16 (@BuffaloBills ). May the Lord be with him and his family during this most difficult time. Hamlin collapsed during the Monday Night Football game against the @Bengals on 1-02-23.

This one hurt. The Rockets learned that you need to do all the little things right and protect the ball if you want to come out on top against a quality opponent like @WildcatsMilton .Lick the wounds and continue to grind. 🚀💪.

Stay Humble.
Humility allows you to be coached. Humility allows you to be corrected. Humility allows you to be developed. Humility allows you to be held accountable. Humility allows you to grow. Ego destroys all of it. Humility is the way.
