The Needham Rockets will be playing in front of their home fans against the Framingham Flyers at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Needham stacked a third blowout onto their ever-increasing hoard last Friday. They blew past Weymouth 33-7. The win made it back-to-back wins for Needham.
Tate J Hoffmeister and Aidan Williams were among the main playmakers for Needham as the former rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown and the latter rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries. J Hoffmeister hasn't dropped below 100 rushing yards for five straight games.
Meanwhile, Framingham never let their opponents score on Saturday. They blew past Brookline, posting a 42-0 win on the road. Given Framingham's advantage in MaxPreps' Massachusetts football rankings (they are ranked 86th, while Brookline is ranked 212th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
