Riverdale football might be getting hot at the right time.

The Warriors (6-4) won three of their final four regular-season games – including last Friday’s must-win matchup against Stewarts Creek – to clinch a Class 6A playoff berth for the ninth straight season.

For its efforts, Riverdale has re-entered the Main Street Preps Top 25 rankings at No. 25. The Warriors dropped off the list back in Week 6 after losing to Smyrna to fall to 3-3.

No. 1 Lipscomb Academy and No. 2 MBA rolled to Week 11 wins to cap unbeaten regular seasons. Oakland, Brentwood Academy, Ensworth, Beech and Nolensville also held steady in the top seven.

The TSSAA playoffs kick off this Friday, Nov. 4. All games are set for 7 p.m. local time.
