"In 1926 the Medfield High School football team began practicing at the start of the school year in September under the coaching of “Coach Wright” of Dean Academy. Sixteen players came out for the team. Home games were played on Metacomet Field off Pleasant Street. The team finished the season at 0-6-1, being shut out each game. Medfield lost once to Medway, 38-0, twice to Millis, 27-0 and 32-0, twice to Holden 7-0 and 40-0, lost to Dover once 11-0 and tied them 0-0."
