Woburn High Football Coach Reaches Milestone Victory

The head coach of the Woburn High School football team reached an illustrious career milestone this past Friday night with a win over Wilmington.

Tanners coach Rocky Nelson earned his 200th career win as his team snapped a four-game losing skid with a 35-6 victory.

“For me, the 200 wins means I’ve coached here for a long time and have been very fortunate to have a great staff, great players, a tremendous administration and great support from the community,” Nelson told the Boston Herald.

Nelson had been coaching the team since 1980.

The Tanners are 3-6 on the season with two games left to play. They face Winchester in their annual Thanksgiving Day showdown.
