PRINCETON -- The playoff dream for the Princeton Tigers some how came true Friday night.

"The difference from the first four week has been the players," head coach Ted Spadaro said. "Once they got that first win, they began to believe in themselves."

The planets aligned in perfect formation for Princeton

The Tigers needed to beat Woodrow, which they did, and then get help from other teams across the state.

Riverside, Robert C. Byrd, and Hurricane all need to lose and they did.

After dropping their first four games, the Tigers pulled out an impressive six game winning streak to end their regular season.

The Tigers can't help but be thrilled to be in this year's playoffs.

"I'm really excited," junior running back Tevin Allen said. "We've won six straight so we deserve to be there. Now that we've made it, we have to focus on Brooke."
