Defending state champion Riverdale will certainly see its mettle tested this week when the Lady Warriors compete in the Nike Tournament of Champions in Phoenix, Arizona.
The Lady Warriors (7-0) will tip off the tournament on Monday at 5:30 p.m. against Riverdale Baptist from Upper Marlboro, Maryland, in the Kia of Murfreesboro Game of the Week.
"It's Riverdale vs. Riverdale," said Lady Warriors coach Randy Coffman. "They're ranked No. 18 in the country and they were No. 3 in the country last year."
Coffman said the tournament will be ideal for Riverdale as there will be 13 nationally-ranked teams in the Lady Warriors bracket alone.
