The Tigers need to win Friday against Woodrow just to keep their playoff dream alive.

PRINCETON -- The biggest surprise the second half of this high school football season has been hands down the Princeton Tigers.

After starting this season 0-4, Princeton Head Coach Ted Spadaro's squad has won five straight.

"I think it's been our team chemistry," Spadaro said. "We added a new system this year and it's taken a while for the kids to grasp it."

The Tigers will play Woodrow Wilson Friday and will look for win number six.

But with four losses, could Princeton still make the playoffs?

They need to win against Woodrow and have Hurricane, Lewis County, and Riverside all lose.

Spadaro's says his team needs to focus on the Woodrow and not about the playoffs.

"We have to control our own destiny," Spadaro said. "We have to think about our team first and then worry about the other teams."
