By Micah Hauben, NHS Director of Athletics Boys Hockey On Wednesday, Dec. 21, the eighth-ranked Needham High School boys ice hockey team, in their home-opener at Babson College, beat Wellesley 6-2 in front of a large and vocal crowd. The win moved the Rockets to 2-0 on the season and 2-0 in the Bay State Conference and set them up for their match-up with top-5 Catholic Memorial on Dec. 28. Needham out-skated the visitors for much of the first two periods and saw one of Catholic Memorial’s top players ejected for a hit against the boards, but the team was not able to find the back of the net. The Knights broke the 0-0 tie in the third period and looked to be in great position to take the win, when Needham pulled their goalie with just over …

By Micah Hauben, NHS Director of Athletics On Saturday, Nov. 19 at MIT, the Needham High School girls swimming and diving team put together their best performances of the season to finish fourth overall in the Division I State Championships. Below is a recap of the tremendous action from Saturday from Head Coach Paul Hession: The Rocket swimmers and divers headed to MIT for Division I State Championships on Saturday looking to make some waves in the pool and they didn't disappoint.

Football team is one win away from the postseason, boys soccer goes out in style and Duffy named IAFO Coach of the Year.
By Micah Hauben, NHS Director of Athletics Although the Rockets boys soccer season ended on Friday, Nov. 11 at the hands of the No. 1 seed Greater New Bedford in the south section semifinals, the boys were as good as any other team in the area and showed it in the tournament. After taking down King Phillip at home in the first round 4-1, Needham then needed overtime to beat a very good Silver Lake team two days later, before once again going into overtime against Greater New Bedford—this time falling 3-2. Mac Steeves put the Rockets up 1-0 in the first half before the top seed scored one minute later to tie up the game. Steeves assisted on the next goal, a Nolan Brady score, before a penalty kick early in the second half allowed Greater …

By Micah Hauben, NHS Director of Athletics Girls Soccer After getting the No. 20 seed in the MIAA Division I South Tournament, the Rockets earned a Saturday afternoon trip to take on Hingham High School, Nov. 6. After an even first 50 minutes of play that saw the visitors down 1-0, Needham was able to tie the game up 1-1. The Rockets found the back of the goal again later in the second half to go up 2-1 and seemed to have the game in hand with only seconds to play when a high loose ball in front of Needham's goal was tipped in just past the goalie. As difficult a situation as a young team can face, the girls stepped up and fought through two more scoreless 10 minute overtime periods to move the game into the shoot-out round. Senior …
