Trent Dilfer was announced as the new head coach of the University of Alabama at Birmingham football team on Wednesday. On Thursday, he tied a bow on his final high school season, coaching Lipscomb Academy (Nashville, Tenn.) to an undefeated championship season.
The Mustangs won the title in dominant fashion, shutting out Christ Presbyterian Academy (Nashville, Tenn.) 42-0. Lipscomb Academy scored more than 40 points in each of the final eight games of the season, outscoring opponents 417-72 during that span and breaking 70 points in two of the games.
Dilfer coached Lipscomb Academy for four seasons. In the two years before he took over, the school went a combined 3-19; in his first season, the team jumped above .500 to a 7-6 record and won double-digit games each of the next three years, taking home the championship in both of the final two.
