A Fresh Start for the Falcons
After finishing the 2025 campaign with a 4‑7 record, the Dighton‑Rehoboth Falcons are turning their attention to the upcoming season, hoping to build on the momentum of two All‑Scholastic returners who will anchor the squad. The team’s offseason has been marked by subtle but meaningful personnel changes, setting the stage for a renewed push toward competitiveness.
The 2026 schedule introduces several new challenges. The Falcons will open the year against the newly formed Sharon/Dedham co‑op, marking their first meeting with that opponent. A notable reunion will see the team travel to face Norton for the first time since 2022, adding a fresh rivalry to the calendar.
Within the South Coast Blue, the Falcons remain paired with traditional rivals Apponequet, Greater New Bedford, Old Rochester and Somerset Berkley. These matchups preserve a core of regional competition that has defined the league for years, while the non‑league slate expands with contests against Norton and the Sharon/Dedham co‑op.
The season will culminate with the 59th Thanksgiving showdown against Seekonk, a game that has become a staple of the local sports tradition. The anticipation surrounding this annual clash underscores the deep‑rooted connections between the teams and the communities they represent.
