in Class 4A Playoffs (via Mustang FanPage)

Lipscomb has earned the program’s 20th overall berth in the playoffs playing in the post-season race to the championship for the 17th consecutive season. The TSSAA announced the 2009 playoff brackets for all six Division I classifications as well Division II Saturday morning with a live broadcast across the state through the Tennessee High School Sports Network. The Mustangs will enter the post-season as the #4 seed in the Middle/West Quadrant and are set to host Jackson South Side on Friday night. The Hawks are the #5 seed in the Middle/West quad. Kickoff will be at 7:00 p.m. at the Reese Smith Athletic Complex.

Lipscomb finished the regular season with a 7-3 overall record and 5-1 in District 10-AA. The Mustangs first round opponent hails from District 14-AA and enters the playoffs with a 7-3 overall record and completed the 2009 campaign 5-2 in the district ending up in a 3-way tie for 2nd.

Here is a full look at the 2009 Class 4A Playoff Bracket. The format is set for the first three rounds to take place within each of the quads to determine a final four. Within each quad, it will be #8 at #1 and #5 at #4 in the upper half with the lower half consisting of #6 at #3 and #7 at #2. (Please note: There are a few exceptions to this, as the TSSAA made sure no teams within the same district played each other during the first round of the playoffs.) The East and Middle/East Quad winners will meet in one semifinal with the survivors from the Middle/West and West Quads meeting in the other semifinal game. The two semifinal winners will earn a berth in the 2009 BlueCross Bowl in Cookeville on December 5th at 3:30 p.m.
