The building of this program is finally being affected by there being 3 other 5A high schools in the same city. When people use to move to Murfreesboro and their children played football, they would move to Riverdale zone because they wanted their children playing for Rankin who was and probably still is the best coach in Tennessee. Now that he has left, other coaches are getting an edge when it comes to "recruiting". You saw Shadowens have more success when Rankins left, and now other coaches are getting a chance. I am actually still suprised at how well riverdale has held up over the last 3 years, because I thought their time was up. But the way this year is going, I still dont know how to feel about their future with Aydellot
