Quick facts

• Matchup: Walpole Rebels (home) vs. Needham Rockets (away)

• When: Friday, Jan. 2, 2026 — 6:30 p.m. EST

• Where: Walpole High School, Walpole, Mass.

Why this matters

The Rebels will try to defend home court against a Needham squad that beat Walpole in their last meeting on Dec. 23, 2025, in Walpole, 68-57. That recent result gives this game a bit of a revenge narrative and should add some edge to what figures to be an intense neighborhood rivalry.
