Congratulations to @Willmcd91 on an outstanding high school career on the volleyball court and football field. A dominant presence at DE and devastating blocker at TE, Will elevated Needham to new heights during his time here. So proud of him.

Can't wait to see what he does at @ArmyWP_Football.

[Doug Kopcso @CoachKopcso]

Nick Sewall never gets enough credit, except for his question-asking skills with @jwiggs85, who was outstanding at our annual Needham-Wellesley rotary club dinner.

@nick_sewall has been a presence back deep since sophomore year, quietly building one of the best careers a safety at NHS has had.

Saved his best game for last. Animal vs the run and ball-hawk vs the pass.

Love you #2

Thank you, Nick.

[Doug Kopcso @CoachKopcso]

Will has worked so hard for this moment, adding size and strength to round out his tremendous athleticism.

He's represented Needham so well these past four years. We're so proud that he will soon represent his country.
