EXPLANATIONS OF

Chattanooga Strong is a mantra that encapsulates what it means to be a part of the rich tradition of Chattanooga Mocs Wrestling. It is a mindset that each mem-ber of the program has to have in order to be successful, academically, athletically and socially. Chattanooga Strong is not just a tagline, but an attitude that guides, encourages and supports everyone in our program as we all pursue the quest for comprehensive excellence.

Head Coach Heath EslingerFour-Time SoCon Champion2011 SoCon Coach of the Year

The brand of Chattanooga wrestling; the embodiment of hard work coupled with integrity and the fortitude to do the right thing in all aspects of an ath-lete’s life. The brand represents all of the principles required to be a successful student-athlete, and provides Chattanooga wrestlers with a tangible model to strive for in shaping their lives. Chattanooga Strong represents what Chattanooga wrestling has become and is continually moving toward.

Dan Waddell (2008-12)Two-Time Southern Conference Champion

The standard created by the Chattanooga Mocs wrestling team. A norm for work ethic, character and responsibility accepted by the entire program that is exceptionally higher than what is expected. This is a mindset that is implemented by socialization through the behav-iors of those who have already become Chattanooga Strong. Newcomers then develop this quality, or typically do not endure. Therefore, Chattanooga Strong is a trait that is learned, cultivated and accepted, not ge-netically natural to an individual.

what’s a Moc?the evolUtion of the Mascot

why Mocs?Faced with politically sensitive issues and in need of a stron-

ger 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 1920s and an Indian was used until the year of major change in 1996. A moc-casin shoe was even used in the 1980s.

In 1996, it was decided to adopt the State Bird of Tennes-see, 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.

The committee also recog-nized the need for the word “Chattanooga” to have a great em-phasis 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, Scrap-py, 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 embla-zoned 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.

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 tak-ing special efforts to stay true to its color palette—which includes navy blue and old gold.

the answer For more than a decade, this question has puzzled many fans and observers of Chattanooga Athletics. 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 con-nection to Chattanooga and the city’s railroad heritage and incorporated the Tennessee state bird. The term “Moc” is short for “Mockingbird.” Mocking-birds are fiercely territorial creatures which protect their homes with courage, deter-mination and skill. Those attri-butes 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.

scraPPyNamed 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 sledge-hammer wielding mockingbird with a heart of Blue & Gold,” Scrappy symbolizes that competitive passion.

Introduced in 2008, the new-look Scrappy has a sharper and more mod-ern feel, mirroring the growth and im-age of UTC Athletics.

The Cowcatcher logo has been recent-ly modified, but is still in use by UTC Athletics.

The “Power C” logo is the primary mark of Chattanooga Mocs Athletics.

season preview

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team enters the fourth year of the Heath Eslinger era in 2012-13. The Mocs have won the Southern Conference Regular Season and/or Tournament in each of his first three seasons and are looking to build on a long history of success.

One of the most successful pro-grams in the SoCon, UTC wrestling has won the league 27 times in 35 campaigns since 1978. The Mocs have won the regular season and/or the tournament title in each of the last eight seasons and are picked as the league favorite in 2013. Chat-tanooga is looking to extend its suc-cess beyond the conference ranks and start making noise on the na-tional level. Below is a weight-by-weight breakdown of those who hope to accomplish that goal in the upcoming year:

125: Sophomore Nick Soto (Spring Hill, Fla.) was the SoCon Freshman of the Year after winning the league at 133. He ranked in the top-15 in the nation following a second-place finish at the Southern Scuffle, but decided to drop down to 125 this season. He tied for the team lead with a 25-8 overall record and is a preseason All-SoCon selection heading into 2012-13. His backup will be freshman Zach Bridson (San-down, N.H.). Bridson is a four-time New Hampshire state champion and was a Senior National All-American in 2012. Also competing at 125 is freshman Campbell Lewis (Soddy Daisy, Tenn.). He is also a four-time state champ in his prep career and was the Most Outstanding Wrestler

at the 2012 TSSAA championships.

133: With Soto moving down to 125, the 133-pound class is open to three freshmen. Leading the way in the preseason is Marvin Lopez (Cleveland, Tenn.). He sat out 2011-12 and was not in the program after winning the Tennessee State Cham-pionship at 130 in 2011 at Cleveland High School. Alex Ward (Chatta-nooga, Tenn.) won two state titles at The McCallie School in Chattanoo-ga and is pushing Lopez for a spot in the lineup.

141: The Mocs have a lot of options at 141, but another former SoCon champ is dropping down to this class and will take the starting spot. Se-nior Dean Pavlou (Cleveland, Tenn.) has twice won the SoCon at 149, but is competing at 141 in 2012-13. Pavlou has a 54-34 career record, with all but two wins coming at 149. This will be his first time competing at 141. Junior Shawn Greevy (Me-chanicsburg, Pa.) is the returning starter and conference runner-up at 141. He still has a redshirt year available, but could be back in the lineup if Pavlou slips. There are five

2012-13 Mocs wrestlingseason outlook

other talented freshmen competing at 141, including Jacob Akins (Madison, Ga.), Landon Reed (Ringgold, Ga.), Austin Sams (Fairfield, Ohio), Adrian Thomas (Clarksville, Tenn.) and Austin Woods (Franklin, Tenn.).

149: Junior Alex Hudson (Marietta, Ga.) competed at 149 as a true freshman and sophomore, but redshirted in 2011-12. He won the starting nod at 149 and leads a strong group in that class. Backing him up is sopho-more Jared Presley (Harrison, Ohio). Presley drops down from 157 where he was 16-8 last season, all in tournament action with three top-four finishes. Fresh-man Parker Smith (Franklin, Tenn.), a former Tennes-see state champ, is also competing at 149, along with freshman Cole Dodd (Katy, Texas).

157: The Mocs will have to replace two-time SoCon Champion Dan Waddell at 157. Senior Josh Condon (Powder Springs, Ga.) and sophomore Trey Stavrum (Chattanooga, Tenn.) will battle throughout the year for that responsibility. Condon won the SoCon at this weight as a sophomore in 2011, but moved up to 174 last season. Stavrum competed mostly at 165 as a freshman where he was 6-3 in 2011-12. Freshman Jesse Beaver (Murphy, N.C.) redshirted last season and is also competing at 157.

165: UTC is replacing another two-time SoCon Cham-pion and NCAA participant in Brandon Wright at 165. Freshman John Lampe (Fairdale, Ky.) has been im-pressive in the preseason, winning the starting job. He is a two-time Kentucky State Champion who redshirted last year. Freshman Sean Mappes (Greenwood, Ind.) is an undefeated Indiana State Champion and is also contending for a spot in the lineup.

174: One of the toughest lineup battles is between ju-niors Levi Clemons (Kissimmee, Fla.) and Jake Young (Ooltewah, Tenn.) at 174. Clemons is the returning starter after posting a 21-16 overall record in 2012. He earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament and was a SoCon All-Freshman honoree in 2011. Young had an outstanding freshman season in 2010, win-ning the Hokie Open and earning SoCon Freshman of the Year honors. However, he lost each of the last two years to injuries and is just now getting back to full strength. Clemons has a redshirt year available, so Young could get the nod in a tight race.

184: UTC had only one option at 184 last season in Robert Prigmore (Westlake, Texas). He posted a solid 18-11 record, including a win at the Davidson Open and

a runner-up at the SoCon Championships. He is again the starter entering his senior season, but has some tal-ented backups in freshmen Clay Dent (Piedmont, Ala.) and John Shrader (Franklin, Tenn.). Dent is a three-time Alabama State Champion, while Shrader won a Tennessee State Championship as a senior.

197: Senior Niko Brown (Kissimmee, Fla.) is looking to end his UTC career with another trip to the NCAA Championships. He earned an at-large bid as a sopho-more in 2011, but an injury in the SoCon Tournament derailed his return in 2012. He was 17-8 last season, including a fifth-place finish at the Hokie Open and a seventh-place showing at the Southern Scuffle. He is backed up by freshmen T.J. Holmes (Nashville, Tenn.) and Jared Johnson (Jefferson City, Mo.). Holmes is a two-time Tennessee State Champion, while Johnson was an undefeated Missouri state title winner.

285: Sophomore Kevin Malone (Carrollton, Ohio) might be the most improved grappler on the roster. He had a solid freshman year, tying for the team lead in wins with a 25-12 record. He also earned SoCon All-Freshman honors and was runner-up at the SoCon Tournament. He could be the surprise performer in the league in 2013. Freshman Caleb Denny (Cincinnati, Ohio) will back up Malone following a standout prep career at Cincinnati’s Moeller High School. .

The SoCon coaches picked UTC as the league favorite by a two-point margin over The Citadel. The league has a new look with Southern Illinois-Edwardsville join-ing the group as an affiliate.

Between home dual matches and the Southern Scuffle, the Mocs will bring six of the top seven teams from the 2012 NCAA Championships to the Scenic City during the 2012-13 season. Highlighted by a Nov. 16 visit from No. 2 Iowa, the Mocs home schedule features seven events, including eight dual meets. Add in No. 7 Illinois’ visit on Jan. 6 and the Mocs have two duals with top-10 teams in 2012-13.

The Scuffle (Jan. 1-2) features NCAA Champion Penn State, runner-up Minnesota and top-five finishers Cor-nell and Oklahoma State. No. 7 Illinois visits Maclellan Gym for a dual meet in Jan. 6 and there are five home Southern Conference duals.

Heath Eslinger (pro-nounced ESS-leen-guhr) was named the 11th head coach of the University of Tennessee at Chatta-nooga wrestling program on July 11, 2009. A for-mer Southern Conference Wrestler of the Year and UTC alum, Eslinger is in his fourth year at the helm of the Mocs’ program.

He has had quite an im-pressive start to his colle-

giate career, winning the Southern Conference Regular Season crown in 2010 and 2011 and the Tournament title in 2011 and 2012. He was also the 2011 SoCon Coach of the Year.

He has shown that he is a proven motivator off the mat as well. The program has seen increase in fundraising, community involvement and academic perfor-mance since Eslinger’s hiring.

Prior to UTC, Eslinger spent three seasons building the Cleveland High School wrestling program in Cleveland, Tenn., into one of the premier programs in the state. The Blue Raiders finished in the top-3 in the state duals and tradi-tional standings in each of his last two seasons. During his last year, he had Cleveland ranked as high as No. 9 in the southeast region while guiding a school-record six wrestlers to state

placings, including three finalists.

During his time at Cleveland High School, Eslinger was able to successfully raise money for the program. He also helped build a $250,000 weight training facility for the school. He raised the profile of the wrestling pro-gram in the community by more than doubling the size of the roster since his arrival. He was also a well-respected physical education teacher at the high school.

Eslinger spent the previous two years as a student pas-tor at First Baptist Church in Cleveland. His responsibili-ties dealt with all aspects of a mega-church student min-istry. He orchestrated events and camps for over 250 students and organized leaders and curricula for each.

Eslinger gained valuable collegiate coaching experience as an assistant at UTC under Terry Brands from 2002-04. There he learned the ins and outs of recruiting, fun-draising, budgets and the overall administration of a col-legiate athletic program.

season review2012-13 recap

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team capped off the 2012 season tying for 51st at the NCAA Championships in St. Louis, Mo. The Mocs sent five wrestlers to the national tournament after winning their sixth Southern Conference Tournament in the last seven years.

MOCS AT THE NCAASChattanooga has been represented at the NCAA Wrestling Championships every year since moving up to Division I in 1978. The Mocs’ best finish was a tie for 14th in 1983. UTC has scored points every year except for 1997, 2003 and 2011. UTC’s second-best result came in 2007, coming in 21st. They also tied for 21st in 2005.

Individually, the Mocs have 12 All-American honors won by nine different wrestlers. Cody Cleveland was the last to earn All-American status, finishing eighth at 141 in 2008. The best individual finish was Charlie Heard’s runner-up at 118 in 1983.

NICK SOTO NAMED SOCON FRESHMAN OF THE YEARNick Soto (Spring Hill, Fla.) was named the SoCon Freshman of the Year after a stellar rookie campaign with the Mocs. He won the SoCon title at 133 and finished with a 25-8 overall record. Soto burst on the scene with a second-place finish at the Southern Scuffle in January. He is the seventh Moc to be named SoCon Freshman of the Year and the third in the last four years.

DEAN PAVLOU RETURNS TO LINEUP TO WIN SOCON 149 CROWNDean Pavlou (Cleveland, Tenn.) spent most of the season as the backup to senior Kelly Felix. He finally beat Felix out the week before the Southern Conference Championships, capitalizing on his opportunity with his second SoCon title at 149.

Pavlou went 19-10 overall and 17-10 at 149. He had a sixth-place finish at the Southern Scuffle and a third-place showing at the Appalachian Open.

DAN WADDELL CAPS CAREER WITH 157 TITLESenior Dan Waddell (Chattanooga, Tenn.) made his second trip to the NCAA Tournament after winning the SoCon Championship at 157. He also qualified as a freshman in 2009 when he won the SoCon at 149.

Waddell’s season looked like it was headed for an unceremonious end in the finals of the SoCon Tournament. He was trailing Campbell’s Nick Rex 2-3 with seconds left in the match. After failing to get to Rex’s leg, he went high and grabbed him in a headlock and slammed him to the mat with two seconds left for the takedown and the win. Waddell finished 22-11 on the year.

BRANDON WRIGHT WINS SOCON AT 165Brandon Wright (Germantown, Tenn.) went 22-11 on the year. He qualified for the NCAAs after winning the 165 title at the SoCon Championships. Wright defeated No. 15 Kyle Blevins of Appalachian State in overtime to win the SoCon title.

LEVI CLEMONS LATE ADDITION TO THE NCAA FIELDIt may have been a day late, but sophomore Levi Clemons (Kissimmee, Fla.) got the call he was looking for. He was a late addition to the list of at-large bids for the Mocs when another competitor in the bracket pulled out a day after the field was announced. Clemons was 20-16 at 174, finishing third at the SoCon Championships.

ESLINGER MOVING UP THE ALL-TIME WINS LISTHead coach Heath Eslinger is currently sixth on the Mocs all-time coaching victories list. Eslinger is 34-22 (.607) in his third season at UTC. He passed Ralph Manning (1991-95) with the win at VMI on Feb. 20. Manning went 33-26 (.559) in five seasons with the Mocs. Eslinger needs five more wins to catch his predecessor, Chris Bono who was 39-17 from 2007-09.

UPSET OVER NO. 12 STANFORD BIGGEST WIN SINCE...Chattanooga’s 22-15 upset win over No. 12 Stanford on Nov. 20 in Maclellan Gym was the first win over a ranked team

since UTC defeated No. 9 Ohio State 19-16 on Nov. 10, 2007 in Chattanooga.

SOCON WRESTLERS OF THE WEEKUTC has a pair of Mocs who have been named SoCon Wrestlers of the Week this season. Junior Niko Brown took the first honor when he pinned Alen Yen (1:55) to clinch an upset win over No. 12 Stanford on Nov. 20. Freshman Nick Soto grabbed back-to-back honors, the latter after placing second at the Southern Scuffle.

PROGRAM RECORD 17 ON THE AD HONOR ROLLThe UTC wrestling team had 17 members on the Athletics Director’s Honor Roll for the 2011 fall semester. The student-athletes recognized for having a 3.0+ semester grade-point-average include Niko Brown, Joseph Burns, Levi Clemons, Cole Hayes, Kelly Felix, Alex Kooser, John Lampe, Dean Pavlou, Jared Presley, Bradley Rogers, Austin Sams, Nick Soto, Blake Thomas, Dan Waddell, Adam Wilson, Brandon Wright and Jake Young.

CHATTANOOGA VS. THE TOP-10The Mocs are no strangers to tough competition, having faced at least one opponent ranked in the top-10 in each of the last 10 seasons. The last time UTC posted a win over a top-10 opponent was Nov. 10, 2007, when they defeated No. 9 Ohio State 19-16 at home.

MOCS G.P.A. NO. 13 IN THE NATIONThe University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team ranked No. 13 in the nation in grade-point-average for the 2011-12 academic year according to the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA). The Mocs had a 3.15 cumulative g.p.a. among its top twelve wrestlers for the 2011-12 academic year. The team g.p.a. is comprised of 12 student athletes, including the 10 wrestlers that were the entries in the NCAA tournament conference qualifier. If teams had less than 10 entries for their respective qualifier, they may fill those spots with wrestlers that competed in at least one varsity dual during the season.

WRIGHT & PAVLOU NAMED ACADEMIC ALL-SOCON & ACADEMIC ALL-NWCASenior Brandon Wright (Germantown, Tenn.) and junior Dean Pavlou (Cleveland, Tenn.) were both honored for their individual work, earning a spot on the NWCA All-Academic Division I Team and the Academic All-Southern Conference squad. Wright graduated in May with a Business degree and a 3.33 g.p.a. A two-time Southern Conference Champion, he is now a three-time Academic All-NWCA honoree.

Pavlou also earned his third Academic All-NWCA team recognition. He has a 3.65 g.p.a. as an Exercise Science major and is a two-time SoCon Champion. To qualify for the All-Academic team a wrestler must have at least a 3.2 cumulative grade-point-average, be an NCAA qualifier or win 60 percent of his total schedule and compete in at least 60 percent of said schedule. The other way to qualify for the All-Academic team is to have a 3.0 g.p.a. and be an NCAA All-American. Academic All-SoCon honorees have to be a significant contributor with at least a 3.3 g.p.a. and in their second year of competition.

Junior Dean Pavlou was inserted into the lineup at 149 just prior to the Southern Conference Tournament. He delivered with his second league title in three seasons.

The Southern Conference, which began its 92nd season of intercollegiate competition in 2012, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. Wrestling programs in the league include full members Appalachian State, Chattanooga, The Citadel and Davidson and affiliates Campbell, Gardner-Webb, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and VMI. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

Membership History On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, LSU, Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern

Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including

Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, Chattanooga, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Western Carolina and Wofford.

Coaches and administrators The Southern Conference has also been a breeding ground for some of college athletics’ most recognized coaches and administrators. Legendary basketball coaches Adolph Rupp of Kentucky and Everett Case of North Carolina State both worked the sidelines in the Southern Conference. Rupp guided the Wildcats to a 30-5 mark during the 1931 and 1932 seasons. Yet, for all his coaching accomplishments, Rupp never led Kentucky to a Southern Conference tournament championship. Case mentored the Wolfpack to six consecutive Southern Conference Tournament championships from 1947 through 1952. Lefty Driesell coached Davidson to three Southern Conference Tournament championships in 1966, 1968 and 1969. Driesell also won the league’s Coach of the Year award four straight times from 1963 through 1966. Former Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins earned league Coach of the Year honors three times in the late ’70s and early ’80s while at Appalachian State and is

now the head coach at the College of Charleston. Terry Holland saw his basketball coaching career take off at Davidson when he returned to his alma mater in 1970. Holland was honored as the Southern Conference Coach of the Year for three consecutive seasons from 1970-72 and led the Wildcats to the conference tournament title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 1970. J. Dallas Shirley, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, spent 21 years as the assistant to the commissioner and supervisor of officials in the Southern Conference. He also served as president of the International Association Basketball Officials and the United States Olympic Basketball Committee. The legendary Paul “Bear” Bryant got his coaching start in the Southern Conference as he guided the Maryland Terrapins in 1945. Another famous Southern Conference football coach is the late Frank Howard of Clemson, who guided the Tigers as a league member

from 1940-52. The incomparable Howard won 69 Southern Conference games. The Southern Conference has been represented on the sidelines at five Super Bowls in recent years. Bobby Ross, who piloted the San Diego Chargers to the 1996 Super Bowl, was the head coach at The Citadel from 1973-77. Former Buffalo Bills head coach Marv Levy directed William & Mary from 1964-68. He was succeeded at William & Mary by Lou Holtz. William & Mary competed in the Southern Conference from 1936-77.

EXPLANATIONS OF

Chattanooga Strong is a mantra that encapsulates what it means to be a part of the rich tradition of Chattanooga Mocs Wrestling. It is a mindset that each mem-ber of the program has to have in order to be successful, academically, athletically and socially. Chattanooga Strong is not just a tagline, but an attitude that guides, encourages and supports everyone in our program as we all pursue the quest for comprehensive excellence.

Head Coach Heath EslingerFour-Time SoCon Champion2011 SoCon Coach of the Year

The brand of Chattanooga wrestling; the embodiment of hard work coupled with integrity and the fortitude to do the right thing in all aspects of an ath-lete’s life. The brand represents all of the principles required to be a successful student-athlete, and provides Chattanooga wrestlers with a tangible model to strive for in shaping their lives. Chattanooga Strong represents what Chattanooga wrestling has become and is continually moving toward.

Dan Waddell (2008-12)Two-Time Southern Conference Champion

The standard created by the Chattanooga Mocs wrestling team. A norm for work ethic, character and responsibility accepted by the entire program that is exceptionally higher than what is expected. This is a mindset that is implemented by socialization through the behav-iors of those who have already become Chattanooga Strong. Newcomers then develop this quality, or typically do not endure. Therefore, Chattanooga Strong is a trait that is learned, cultivated and accepted, not ge-netically natural to an individual.

Dean Pavlou, SeniorTwo-Time Southern Conference Champion
