• Struggles Continue for Needham Football (needhamlocal.org) — Needham High's football team dropped to 0-5 after a tough 38-7 loss to Milton, despite a highlight 50-yard touchdown pass from Jack Ringer to Jayden Greenfield. The Rockets' offense struggled while Milton's ground game dominated, but Needham's special teams blocked several extra points and the defense made key late stops. The team travels to Braintree next Friday.
