Needham Football Earns 4th Seed in South Sectional Tourney

The Rockets 6-1 record and 42-28 win against Weymouth Friday resulted in the 4th seed in the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association playoffs.

The Needham football team will host No. 5 Duxbury (5-1) in the first round of the Div. 2 South playoffs Friday, Nov. 1. The game will be 7 p.m. at Needham High School.

A win against the Dragons will mean a match-up against the winner of the Mansfield and Wellesley game. A win in that game will mean a trip to the Div. 2 South finals.
