Mustangs Travel to Stratford for Regular Season Finale

     Lipscomb travels to Stratford for a key District 10-AA game that will look to provide answers to the post-season questions for both teams.  The Mustangs and Spartans both enter the Week Ten game with 4-5 overall records residing just on the outside of the playoff brackets.  Lipscomb is actually the first team knocking on the door with one week to go.

     Both teams are looking to end the regular season on a high note.  Lipscomb had its three game winning streak come to an end last week while Stratford lost its second game in a row.  A win by the Mustangs and a Pearl-Cohn loss would give Lipscomb a third place finish in the district for the second straight year.  The Spartans are looking for their highest finish in District 10-AA since realignment in 2009.

     Around the district, Maplewood has completed its regular season and clinched a share of the District 10-AA title.  They will share it with the winner of this week’s Pearl-Cohn at CPA contest.  If Pearl-Cohn wins, the Firebirds win the championship.  If CPA should win, then Maplewood will get the title nod.  In other action, East Literature travels to Whites Creek.

Last Week’s Game

     Lipscomb’s defense kept the team within striking distance as long as possible.  However, the Lions of Christ Presbyterian Academy scored through the air, on the ground and on special teams to take a 27-0 victory over the Mustangs.  With the win, CPA kept a top two finish in District 10-AA in reach.

     CPA used a no-huddle offense on its first possession to move downfield behind the rushing attach of Winston Williams and quarterback Albert Mitchell.  After a delay of game penalty on the Lions moved the football back to the 14 yard line, Lipscomb was able to stand firm and keep the visitors out of the end zone.  CPA settled for a 32 yard field goal from freshman kicker J.R. Osborn to open the scoring.

     The Mustangs were held to three punts in three possessions in the first half achieving 48 yards of total offense.  CPA scored on its first three possessions adding a one yard touchdown run by Mitchell in the first quarter and a 25 yard field goal by Osborn with 8:06 remaining in the first half.  The Lions took a 13-0 lead to the locker room at halftime as Osborn’s 52 yard field goal on the last play of the half fell just short.

     Lipscomb’s two punts in the third quarter were sandwiched around a 70 yard punt return for a touchdown by CPA sophomore Vic Wharton.  The final three possessions for Lipscomb ended with failed fourth down conversions as well as a fumble.  The Lions added a four yard pass completion for the final score of the night with just over eight minutes remaining in the game.

     CPA out gained the Mustangs 322-82 in total yards with almost an eight minute advantage in time possession.  Gabe Glimps led the offense for Lipscomb with 45 rushing yards on 10 carries while Jacob Campbell added 32 yards on eight attempts.

     Luke Runion led the defense with nine total tackles.  Cooper Jackson, Kenny Drew, William Vantrease and Nathan Dickerson each added seven.  William Burgess contributed a sack for the Mustangs.

 

First 2011 Loss at Home Within District

     The loss to CPA was the first district loss within the friendly confines of the Reese Smith Athletic Complex this season for the Mustangs.  It is only the second loss at home for Lipscomb against District 10-AA competition since realignment in 2009. 

     Lipscomb is 7-2 at home against District 10-AA teams.  The only other loss came in the first district game of the 2009 season against Maplewood.

 

Scoreless Streak for Defense Reached 13 Quarters

     During the three game winning streak, Lipscomb’s defense held opponents out of the end zone for 13 straight quarters.  During this time the defense allowed only two field goals.  Two opponents scored touchdowns on fumble returns against the Mustang offense.

     The 13 quarter streak dated back to the fourth quarter of the Goodpasture game in Week Five and continued through the fourth quarter of the Week Eight game at Pearl-Cohn.

 

Mustangs by Class

     This season, 68 players and 4 managers walk onto the field each week representing the 2011 edition of Lipscomb Mustangs football.  The team consists of 21 seniors, 24 juniors and 27 sophomores.  The 2010 team graduated 23 seniors.

Head Coach Glenn McCadams

     The 2011 campaign marks head coach Glenn McCadams’ 30th season at the helm of the Lipscomb football program and 43rd year of coaching high school football in the state of Tennessee.  He also serves the Campus School as assistant principal of the high school and has been Athletic Director during his tenure at the Nashville school as well.    

     McCadams joined Lipscomb in 1982 following four seasons as head coach at Trenton Peabody.  Prior to that, the west Tennessee native spent nine years as an assistant coach at Milan High School.  That may have been one of toughest moves of his early career seeing that he is a graduate of Huntingdon High School.  Tough as it may have been, it was very rewarding and helped to set the tone for his future as a head coach.  He holds a career mark of 314-105 in 34 seasons as a head coach.  At Lipscomb, McCadams has won over 75% of his games compiling a 283-93 record.

      Under his leadership, the Mustangs have won three state championships - two in Class 2A (1994 and 2002) and one in Class 3A (2007).  His Lipscomb teams have played in a total of seven state title games as well as five bowl games. 

     McCadams has led the team through numerous classification changes within the TSSAA from a Class A school in 1982 to the current level of Class 4A.  He has taken the program to 18 consecutive TSSAA Playoffs and 21 overall.  In his first 29 seasons, the Mustangs have been to the post-season 26 times.

     His 314 career wins rank him third in the state of Tennessee for the most number of wins among active head coaches.   He only trails St. George’s Ken Netherland (367) and Alcoa’s Gary Rankin (326).  In addition, he stands in sixth place on the TSSAA’s list of all-time wins by a head football coach.

    

Assistant Coaching Staff

     When it comes to being leaders of men and developing players of high character, the Lipscomb football staff ranks as one of the finest groups to be assembled at any high school across the state of Tennessee.      

     Here is a look at the coaches that are leading the Mustangs in 2011 and their respective responsibilities:

 

Jesse Blair                            Linebackers, Running Backs,

   Kickoff Return team

 

Todd Cunningham              Cornerbacks, Tight Receivers,

                                                   Freshman Defensive Coordinator

 

David Morris                         Head Coach - Freshman

 

Andrew Stewart                   Secondary, Receivers, Kickoff

                                                   Coverage team

 

Tim Taylor                             Assistant Head Coach, Offensive

                                                   Line, Defensive Ends, PAT team

 

Kevin Temple                       Head Coach - Middle School

 

Scott Tillman                        Defensive Coordinator, Defensive   Line, Punt Return team

 

Josh Weber                          Mike Linebacker, Assistant with

                                                   Offensive Line, Middle School

                                                   Defensive Coordinator

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Walk Through Mustang History

     This is the 49th season of football on the Lipscomb campus and the Mustangs are playing in the seventh decade in the school’s history.  Lipscomb played its first game in 1935 and competed four years through the 1938 season.  It was almost 30 years before the football team returned to the field for interscholastic competition in 1967.

     This week’s game with Stratford will be the 566th overall contest in the history of Mustang football.  Lipscomb has won almost 66% of the games played and currently holds a cumulative record of 373-187-5.

Lipscomb Named Winningest Class 4A

Program Since 2000

     Lipscomb has been tabbed as the winningest program in Class 4A football over the last decade since the turn of the century.  The ranking is based upon each team’s number of overall wins during the 2000 - 2010 seasons.  Here is a look at the top ten:

 

  1.  David Lipscomb                           128-25

  2.  Knoxville Fulton                            108-37

  3.  Crockett County                            105-30

  4.  Greeneville                                      97-43                  

  5.  White House                                   96-42                  

  6.  Red Bank                                         93-40                  

  7.  Covington                                        90-46                  

  8.  Mitchell                                             86-48                  

  9.  Dyersburg                                        82-45                  

10.  Jackson South Side                      79-47  

 

     Of this group, three teams have won 70% or more of games including Knoxville Fulton (74.4%), Crockett County (77.8%) and Lipscomb (83.7%).  Also, only the Mustangs and White House have advanced to the playoffs every year since 2000.

         

Overall Record Against 2011 Opponents

     The Mustangs own a 52-36 combined record against the 2011 opponents heading into this week’s final regular season game with the Spartans.  Lipscomb has faced two of this year’s opponents more than 10 times.  The meeting with Goodpasture was the 43rd in the storied history of the two schools and the Week Seven game with Greenbrier was the 17th time the Mustangs had faced the Bobcats.  

     Eight of this year’s opponents were playoff participants in 2010.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    Mustangs Most Likely Need Win

to Keep Playoff Streak Alive

     Lipscomb stands just outside the Class 4A playoff standings as the regular season enters the final week and the Mustangs dropped to #33.  Having participated in 18 consecutive TSSAA playoffs, Lipscomb will most likely need to win this week’s game at Stratford in order to have an opportunity to make the 2011 post-season.

     The top 32 of each classification will be eligible for the playoffs according to the criteria set by the TSSAA.  Only the top two teams in each district are guaranteed a playoff berth.  A change in this year’s system will rank these teams ahead of teams that enter through an at-large basis so the final seeding of each quadrant will not be available until after Week 10 games this week.

     The Mustangs fell one spot out of the Top 32 only because Frayser or Kingsbury has the opportunity to finish second in District 15-AA.  Otherwise, Lipscomb would be the 32nd team.  Here is a look at the full Class 4A ranking after Week Nine:

 

1.     Lexington                              17.  Marshall County

2.     Greeneville                           18.  Giles County

3.     Obion County                       19.  Bolivar Central

4.     DeKalb County                    20.  Knoxville Fulton

5.     Chester County                    21.  Notre Dame

6.     Fairley                                    22.  Gibbs

7.     Covington                             23.  Creek Wood

8.     Maplewood                           24.  East Hamilton

9.     Dyersburg                             25.  Page

10.   Sullivan East                        26.  White House

11.   Livingston Academy           27.  East Ridge

12.   Red Bank                              28.  Scott County

13.   Sycamore                             29.  Hillcrest

14.   Mitchell                                  30.  Macon County

15.   Knoxville Carter                   31.  Stone Memorial

16.   Liberty Magnet                     32.  Frayser or Kingsbury

 

District 10-AA Teams Looking to Post-Season

     Three teams from District 10-AA dropped out of the top 32 in their respective classifications heading into the final week of the regular season.  All three are in Class 4A.    

     In Class 4A, Maplewood is currently the only team listed in the top group.  The #8 Panthers are slated to play in Quad 3.

     In Class 3A, two teams are listed in the top 32 playoff seeds with CPA (#6) and Pearl-Cohn (#28) both being ranked in Quad 3.

Class 4A Top Ten Shuffle

     As has been the case for most of the season, the Class 4A top ten football poll continues to be an exclusive club.  Very few “newcomers” have entered the poll during the season as most of the changes have come from shuffling among the current teams.  Greeneville and Lexington continue to lead the pack earning all of the first place votes.

     The AP ranks the Top 10 in each of the classifications for the TSSAA as selected by Tennessee AP-member

sportswriters and broadcasters.  All Associated Press members in Tennessee are eligible to participate in the high school football poll.  First place votes are shown in parentheses with total points being based on 10 points for a first place vote through one point for a 10th place vote.

 

  1. Greeneville                                     8-1          (14)         201        

  2. Lexington                                        9-0          (7)           196

  3. Obion County                                 8-1                          161

  4. DeKalb County                              8-1                          112

     For his career, Glimps has 1,083 total rushing yards in 225 carries.  He is averaging 4.8 yards per rushing attempt this season which is also the average yards per carry for his career.    

 

Kicking Game Aids Mustangs

     When they have been called upon, Lipscomb’s punter and kicker have both aided the Mustangs this season.  Placekicker Daniel Bruce is 13-14 in extra point kicks in 2011 and a perfect 3-3 in field goals.  He has put field goals of 28, 32 and 38 yards between the uprights.

     Punter Cortland Daws isn’t officially listed on defense for the Mustangs.  However, he has been an added weapon for the defensive unit with his booming punts.  Daws has kicked 20 of his 42 punts 40+ yards while placing inside the 20 yard line.  Three others have resulted in touchbacks.  Daws is averaging 39.8 yards per punt in nine games.

 

Points off Turnovers

     Through Week Nine of the season, Lipscomb has scored 31 points off of 14 turnovers by the opponents.  On the other hand, the combined opposition has scored 39 points off of nine Mustang turnovers.

Lipscomb and Stratford - The Last Time They Met

A surprise start . . . a quick score . . . and 15 points in the second quarter all led to a superb beginning.  The Mustangs carried the momentum into the second half on the way to a District 10-AA win over Stratford by the score of 35-12. 

     After winning the coin toss, Stratford elected to receive.  However, on the opening kickoff, which was an end-over-end kick into the middle of the field, the Spartans couldn’t decide who was going to pick up the bouncing football.  So, Lipscomb’s Guy Simmons made the decision for everyone and fell on the loose football at the Stratford 31 yard line.  Three plays later, Lance Runion went around the end of the line and 18 yards into the end zone to give the Mustangs a lead only 1:10 into the game.

     Lipscomb would score on all four trips into the red zone in the first half and four out of five possessions.  The defense held Stratford to only 55 yards of total offense as the Mustangs took a 22-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.

     Stratford’s offense would provide a rejuvenated effort in the second half as quarterback LaQuan Horton moved the team downfield for two scores.  Lipscomb would match the scoring effort by the Spartans and walk away with the 23 point victory.

     The Mustangs were led on defense by Cooper Jackson and Guy Simmons with 10 and 9 total tackles respectively.  Michael Mascolo added 7 total tackles.  Seth Hubler and Simmons led the charge into the Spartans’ backfield.  Hubler had four tackles for a loss and Simmons contributed another three.   Andrew Fawaz recovered a snap over the head of Stratford’s punter in the end zone for Lipscomb’s first score of the second half.  Lipscomb’s defense forced four turnovers by the Spartans during the game.

     On offense, the Mustangs were led by William Officer’s 119 rushing yards on 24 carries.  Runion added 45 yards on the ground while Gabe Glimps contributed 37.

     Stratford enters the final regular season game of 2011 with an opportunity to secure the programs first playoff berth since 2006.  This is a year that head coach Jason Smith has been looking toward as he has more seniors on his roster this season than the past three years combined.

     The Spartans got off to a quick start this year with two big wins over Pope John Paul II and Whites Creek.  However, the team has posted a 2-5 record since that good beginning.  It has been a season of streaks for the Spartans.  After winning the first two, Stratford lost three in a row before winning the next two.  They enter this week’s game now on a two game losing streak.

     Averaging 17.6 points per game this season, Stratford has allowed opponents 23.4 points per outing.  In District 10-AA games, the Spartans have averaged 12.2 points per game while allowing district opponents an average of 25.0 points per game.
