Week 10 vs. East Literature (via the Mustang FanPage)
Mustangs Claim Share of District 10-AA Crown
With a defensive stand in the closing minutes of the game for the third straight week, Lipscomb claimed a hard fought 17-13 victory over East Literature to claim at least a share of the District 10-AA title. The Mustangs can win the crown outright with a Whites Creek victory over Maplewood on Friday night.
Lipscomb had to withstand a furious rally by East Literature including a fourth down play with just over a minute remaining from the Mustangs’ 30 yard line. Scott Bledsoe and William Officer scored touchdowns for the Mustangs and Daniel Bruce’s 20 yard field goal with 7:53 left in the game had provided Lipscomb with a cushion. However, the Eagles reached the end zone for the second time on the night with 3:53 to go in the game. John McAlister’s interception on the two-point conversion kept the score 17-13 in favor of the Mustangs. A defensive stop by East Literature with 1:49 on the clock set up the final frantic minute of the game.
Officer led the Mustangs with 142 yards on 31 carries. Bledsoe added 51 yards on 14 attempts. Lipscomb controlled the time of possession finishing the game with a 31:59 to 16:01 advantage. Joel Mason led the tackling efforts for the Mustangs with eight total tackles while John McAlister added seven. Matthew Quinn and William Stevens each added six and John Mark Vanderpool recorded five total tackles. The Mustangs forced three turnovers by the Eagles including an interception and fumble recovery by William Stevens as well as a team-leading fourth INT for Lance Runion on the season.
Lipscomb (7-3, 5-1) will now await the TSSAA Playoff announcement on Saturday morning to see who the Mustangs will play in the first round next Friday.
Glenn McCadams Earns 300th Career Win
Lipscomb head coach Glenn McCadams earned his 300th career win with the Mustangs victory over East Literature. In his 32nd year as a head coach and 41st season overall in high school football, McCadams career record now stands at 300-95. He ranks 3rd in most wins for an active head coach within the TSSAA and stands 6th overall in wins for football coaches in the history of the TSSAA.
Closing out his 28th regular season as head coach of the Lipscomb football program, McCadams has won 269 games at the helm of the Mustangs while losing only 83. The 2009 Mustangs are the 20th team to reach the playoffs under McCadams and the program will be entering the post-season for the 17th consecutive season.
A large gathering of Mustang fans at the Reese Smith Athletic Complex welcomed the playoff-bound Mustangs back to campus following the victory at East Literature and also presented Coach McCadams with a 300-win cake and personal words of congratulations.
