It is just about 24 hours till the opening kickoff of the 129th installment of Wellesley vs. Needham and it is now time to take a look back at the 2016 campaign for your Wellesley Raiders. The Raiders enjoyed one of their most successful seasons in recent memory and their best season under head coach Jesse Davis, as they captured the Bay State Herget Divison crown for the first time since 1999. As they enter Thanksgiving the Raiders not only have a chance to extend their all time lead against the Rockets but also to snap a two year losing streak to the rival Rockets. Here’s a look at how Wellesley got here.
