The Winchester Red & Black will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Waltham Hawks at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
Winchester is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They fell to Peabody Veterans Memorial 27-21. While losing is never fun, the Red & Black can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Massachusetts football rankings (they are ranked 128th, while the Tanners are ranked 38th).
Meanwhile, Waltham gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Newton North 33-0 at home.
Waltham's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Noah Foy led the charge by rushing for 100 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, while also picking up 138 receiving yards and a touchdown. Foy torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 99 yards. Another signal caller making a difference was Dane Deveaux, who threw for 156 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 passes.
Winchester beat Waltham 16-6 in their previous matchup back in September of 2023. Does Winchester have another victory up their sleeve, or will Waltham turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
