WATCH: Woburn Coach Rocky Nelson's Final Pregame Speech

WOBURN, MA — Woburn Memorial High School head coach Rocky Nelson got the opportunity to do what few in the sports world are able to successfully accomplish, ride into the sunset after a successful career.

After announcing plans to step down at the end of the season, Nelson's Tanners defeated the Winchester Sachems by the narrowest of margins during Thursday's thanksgiving day classic. The 22-21 victory helped Woburn finish with a winning 6-5 record, and helped end Nelson's career on a high note.

Nelson has given many speeches to teams before the game, but none may be more spirited than the one delivered Thursday morning. You can watch the speech below.
