Bolivar at David Lipscomb

[bulldog69]

The only thing that happened tonight was that DL got ticked off......look out next week.

 

I hear about region 7/8 defenses.......who has held DL under 35 this year in 3a??????????

Great job by the Lipscomb coaching staff. I really thought Bolivar would stick to what they do best, in between the tackles and quick slants. David Lipscomb's players play with heart and discipline. Opposing teams seen to want to put in special packages, a touch of trickery and somehow come to the conclusion they can "out-smart" Lipscomb. You have to line up and play YOUR game. Teams need to quit worrying about what Lpscomb is going to do. They do the same thing every game. Until a team lines up against them and believes in what THEY do, no one will beat them. Great job guys. Fantastic group of young men playing as a team.

Congrats to David Lipscomb on the BIG WIN tonight. Next week's trip to Memphis to play 8-3A #1 Seeded Mitchell should be quite interesting. I look for the Mustangs to play 4 GREAT QUARTERS of football in that one.

 

Congrats to Bolivar on a great season!!!!!

Bolivar started off great with the early 14-0 lead. The problem is that you don't beat David Lipscomb in the 1st quarter just ask Creekwood, Giles Co., or Marshall Co. They all had early success against the mustangs, but got routed in the end.

 

Bolivar did try and do more than they needed. They passed too much and tried to run jet sweeps that were not necessary. They could have made it a closer game by patiently running the ball between the tackles....don't think they would have won, but it would have been closer.

 

David Lipscomb's team is very good at continuing to play their hard even when down. The mustang offense was awesome as usual. That was no surprise or knock on Bolivar. You can't get a look from a scout team on the speed of the DL wing-t.

 

Key plays that did in Bolivar.

1.) The shanked punt that gave DL the short field.

2.) Three poor decisions/execution on kickoff return giving them bad starting position.

3.) The incomplete playaction pass on 3rd and 1.

4.) The missed FG before the half.

5.) The kickoff coverage at the start of the 2nd half=short field for Lipscomb.

6.) Both interceptions. Poor design/execution/decisions lead to short field for Lipscomb.

 

Bolivar should not feel to bad.

Middle Tennessee knows how good David Lipscomb is.

The Tigers can say that they were one of the last eight teams in 3A playing...and that is pretty nice!

 

I would like to see David Lipscomb stay focused and win the whole, dang thang!

DL WONT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH MITCHELL; THEY"VE PLAYED BETTER TEAMS ALL YEAR. TORRY PLAYED THE GAME OF A LIFETIME AGAINST DHS LAST WEEK BUT REGRESSED TO HIS USUAL SELF TONIGHT AGAINST HAYWOOD WITH MITCHELL "BARELY" PULLING IT IT OUT IN A POORLY PLAYED PLAYOFF GAME ?? BY BOTH HAYWOOD AND MITCHELL SHOULD GIVE DL A WARM FEELING TRAVELING TO MEMPHIS TO PLAY MIITCHELL . DL WINS AND GOES TO THE "BORO" !! CONGRATS TO BOLIVAR ON A GREAT SEASON. 1ST TIME PLAYING AGAINST DL IS NOT WHAT ANY TEAM WANTS TO EXPERIENCE.

Congratulations Bolivar on a very successfull 2007 season. This team was winless 2 years ago and now they are playing in the quarter finals. Great job by the players and staff.

 

Good luck to David Lipscomb.

Congrats to the Mustangs Good game we were just outcoached trying to do to much josh averaged 5 yards a carry and ozell about the same yet we were throwing the ball on first down and running reverses Lipscomb never really stopped the run we just stopped doing it Lipscomb took advantage of the fact we use a 3 man line and beat us up in the middle 10-12 yard gashes we never did give our guys in the middle any help and every play they just got swallowed Congrats Senior Tigers on a Great Year best of luck in your futures and Lets get the boys ready for another run next year

I think Mitchell is a real threat to DL. They have beaten every 3A school in their way, I don't see how DL won't have any problems with them.

Couldn't agree more with you Montague1. I would guess that Mitchell has been dreaming of another shot at the Mustangs ever since the 2002 Blue Cross Bowl game. They are obviously a talented, athletic team to make it to the semi-finals, and they get to play at home. Both teams are quick to the ball on defense and have multiple weapons on offense. This should be a great game.

"Bolivar is playing it too quiet. Smart move. Bolivar in a upset by 10.

 

THEY DONT USUALLY RESPOND ON THE BOARDS- MUST NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS SITE OR NOT MEMBERS. DL FANS KNOW AND READ BUT DONT RESPOND EXCEPT FOR A VERY FEW THAT ARE NOT DL FANS ONLY JUMPING ON THE DL BANDWAGON TO SUPPORT THEIR REGION AFTER DL HAS WON THE REGION. BOLIVAR WILL NOT WIN TONIGHT!!!!!!"

 

Bolivar fans DO know about the site, are members of the site, and do respond to some comments. However, some comments aren't worth responding too, especially when you are the underdog.

 

Congratulations Tigers to a great season! /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

HOMEFIELD IS A PLUS FOR THE TIGERS. SHOULD TORRY / WRS HAVE ANOTHER BREAKOUT GAME AS THEY DID AGAINST DHS THEY WIILL BE VERY HARD TO BEAT BY ANYONE. HOPEFULLY HE WONT PLAY B/B FOR MITCHELL THIS WEEK AND PREPARE FOR DL. IT WILL BE A GREAT GAME IF MITCHELL FOCUSES "ONLY" ON DL !! GO TIGERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was crazy, I have never heard of a player in the football playoffs playing in a basketball game during the week. I understand that he is a stellar basketball player too, but they need that kid on the field. Right now all the basketball games are meaningless any, why play football players in a playoff week?. I have tremendous respect for Galiee, but someone should have stepped in and stopped that from happening.
