That meant Chiasson, a sophomore, stepped in for his first varsity start in front of a packed house at Needham’s Memorial Field. Interestingly enough, Lederman, now a freshman at Bentley University after a standout career at Natick, also started his first varsity game at Needham. This was the third straight shutout for Natick against Needham, with the previous two meetings being 35-0 and 42-0. Following the second Redhawk interception by Henry O’Connor, Natick started with the ball on the Needham 24. Natick also pinned Needham deep in its own zone often, as the Rockets had nine possessions which began on or inside their 25.
