The Needham Rockets will face off against the Lincoln-Sudbury Warriors at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Needham will be strutting in after a win while Lincoln-Sudbury will be coming in after a loss.
Last Friday, Needham was able to grind out a solid victory over Natick, taking the game 20-7. Given the Rockets' advantage in MaxPreps' Massachusetts football rankings (they are ranked seventh, while the Redhawks are ranked 46th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Lincoln-Sudbury had to start their season on the road two weeks ago, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They were outmatched by Methuen on the road and fell 42-14.
Needham won a game that couldn't have been any closer in their previous meeting back in September of 2023, slipping by Lincoln-Sudbury 14-13. The rematch might be a little tougher for Needham since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
