JIM FROST STADIUM Jim Frost Stadium is the dream of Jim Frost, owner of Frost Cutlery, who has a passion for helping the youth in Chattanooga. Construction on the stadium and centerpiece of Warner Park began during the summer of 1997. UTC opened its two million-plus dollar home on April 20, 1998, against Southeastern Conference foe Tennessee, drawing a standing-roomonly crowd of 3,521. The 3,000 seat stadium includes 1st-base, 3rd-base and outfield bleachers and 800 chairback seats behind home plate. Amenities included are concession stands, restrooms, a glass-enclosed press box, two sky boxes, climate-controlled locker rooms connected to the dugouts, batting cages and bullpens.

In the fall of 2009, the playing field was given a makeover when the President of AstroTurf, located in nearby Dalton, Ga., Brian Peoples and his family donated its GameDay Grass 3D artificial turf for the apron of the field from first to third base. The Power-”C” logo is etched into the turf down each line in foul territory and a Frost Stadium logo is behind home plate. The Mocs play on one of the best fields in the nation.

WHAT’S A MOC? THE EVOLUTION OF THE MASCOT

THE ANSWER

WHY MOCS?

For more than a decade, this question has puzzled many fans and observers of Chattanooga Athletics.

Faced with politically sensitive issues and in need of a stronger core identity to help establish a strong brand as Chattanooga’s Team, the athletics department embarked on a comprehensive identity program in 1996. A new direction for the athletics identity was determined, moving away from the politically incorrect Native American Indian imagery. Several identities have been used in the past. With the old nickname “Moccasins,” a snake was used in the 1920’s and an Indian was used until the year of major change in 1996. A moccasin shoe was even used in the 1980’s.

The UTC Athletics Department changed logos in 1997, moving away from Native American imagery to a package of logos using railroad images, the nickname “Mocs,” and the Scrappy mascot. The new package emphasized UTC’s connection to Chattanooga and the city’s railroad heritage and incorporated the Tennessee state bird, the mockingbird. Mockingbirds are fiercely territorial creatures which protect their homes with courage, determination and skill. Those attributes reflect the intellect, spirit and character of UTC student-athletes and alumni. A Moc is a champion on the playing surface, in the classroom and, most importantly, in life.

Introduced in 2008, the new-look Scrappy has a sharper and modern feel, mirroring the growth and image of UTC Athletics.

SCRAPPY

The committee also recognized the need for the word “Chattanooga” to have a great emphasis in the logo. The nickname “Moccasins” was shortened to simply “Mocs.” Thus established, Chattanooga could rebuild its athletics programs and initiatives around this new identity. And rebuild it did. Quickly establishing the identity program in February 1997, combined with tremendous success in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, UTC had positioned itself to reach for the next level. From 1997 to 2007, the primary logo was the mascot, Scrappy, riding a train. The secondary logo features the front of a train with the word Mocs built into the logo. This logo is affectionately called the “Cowcatcher logo,” referring to the front lower grill of the train that helped push objects from the train tracks. In August 2007, officials at Chattanooga updated the school’s marks. A new C logo, the “Power C” as it has become known to fans and alums, was created as the primary mark and is emblazoned on the side of the football team’s helmets. The secondary marks were updated with a more modern look, and a new font, unique to the school, is now used on the text areas of the logos and marks.

Scrappy leads the Chattanooga Mocs football team onto the field.

2018 CHATTANOOGA SOFTBALL

Named after legendary football coach A.C. “Scrappy” Moore, Scrappy, the Chattanooga mascot, is a fixture for the Mocs. A re-design in 2008 puts Scrappy in the image of the State Bird of Tennessee, a Mockingbird. The mockingbird is known as a fierce protector of its nest and environment. It is sometimes seen swooping down on a dog, cat or predator that may be venturing too close to the bird’s protected territory. Once described by “Late Night” host Jimmy Fallon as “a sledgehammer-wielding mockingbird with a heart of Blue & Gold,” Scrappy symbolizes that competitive passion.

In 1996, it was decided to adopt the State Bird of Tennessee, the Mockingbird, as the core of the new identity, while incorporating the strong regional imagery of Chattanooga’s vast railroad history. The mascot “Scrappy” was born and a new emphasis was placed on the athletics department’s role in the region.

In September 2008, Scrappy was re-branded to better match the image of a mockingbird and reflect the rich tradition of our state, our city and our University. New marks of the head as well as a full body were released. The program has also been taking special efforts to stay true to its color palette— which includes navy blue, old gold and silver.

2018 SEASON OUTLOOK

The Chattanooga Mocs enter the 2018 season with a young and talented roster. UTC welcomes 11 freshmen, a program record, to the squad while boasting 15 underclassmen as a whole. The Mocs have only three seniors while completing the 26-member roster with eight juniors. Chattanooga finished 2017 with a 15-38 overall record, but made a late run in the SoCon Tournament by knocking off No. 1 seed Furman in the opening round.

During the Southern Conference Tournament at Frost Stadium, Conner caught fire and led the Mocs to a deep run. For the tournament, she went 5-for-9 (.556) with two HRs, five RBI and three runs in the three games. For that effort, she was named to the SoCon All-Tournament team.

2018 CHATTANOOGA SOFTBALL

OVERVIEW

Hamill returns to the Mocs after seeing action in all three seasons leading up to 2018. She has appeared in 110 games while starting 101 of those games. During that span, she has racked up 86 hits, 42 RBI and six HRs.

SENIORS

The 2018 UTC softball team will be led by a trio of seniors in Ashley Conner, J.J. Hamill and Brook Womack. Conner and Hamill are both fourth-year seniors while Womack will play in her second season with UTC after transferring from Southern Illinois in 2015-2016.

Hamill was named to the 2017 Southern Conference Preseason All-Conference team and backed up the honors with great numbers. She led the team with 73 total bases and recorded 14 multi-hit games, ranking second. Hamill added a threat on the bases after going 8-for-9 in stolen base attempts.

The duo of Conner (2B) and Hamill (SS) are expected to handle the middle infield duties while Womack (3B) will also play primarily in the infield. Last year, the three each had over 40 games played at their respective positions while Hamill started all 53 games at short.

August 1, 2001. He picked up right where former coaches Ralph and Karen Weekley had left off and immediately pushed Chattanooga softball to a level it had never seen before. Reed’s final year at CSTCC was perhaps the most spectacular. In 2001, the Tigers posted a 62-3 record, attaining a ranking of No. 2 in the nation and finishing fourth in the 2001 national tournament. That performance marked the seventh consecutive tournament appearance in Chattanooga State history, all of which came under Reed’s tenure.

They were ranked nationally in the top-10 for eight years rising as high as No. 2 in 1995 and 2001. This success led to Reed being selected as Conference Coach of the Year seven times in his last eight seasons. Reed also organized the Eagles Softball Association, which featured youth travel teams in all age groups, and guided the Parker Eagles summer league team to a tremendous nine-year record of 458 wins and 77 losses. During his time, the Eagles were regularly ranked among the top-10 Amateur Softball Association (ASA) teams nationally and were ASA National Champions in 1990 and National Softball Association (NSA) Champions seven times. In 1998, Reed was inducted into the NSA Hall of Fame. In addition to his work with teams in Chattanooga, Reed also served as the hitting instructor of the Dominican Republic’s national team for four years. He became the head coach for the team in 2006 and his team spent time in the United States playing several professional softball teams in preparation of the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Sports Games in Colombia.
