Needham beat Wellsley 20-13 Thursday in the 137th renewal of the oldest Thanksgiving high school football rivalry that dates back to 1882. The Rockets decided to play its starters, instead of resting them for the December 5 Massachusetts Division 1 Super Bowl at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots.
FINAL: Needham 20, Wellesley 13
The Raiders made a big push late, but Needham recovered two onside kicks to keep this one out of Wellesley’s hands. Needham will go into the state championship next week with an undefeated record. pic.twitter.com/Fd82afzd8B
