WHAT’S A MOC? THE EVOLUTION OF THE MASCOT
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 connection to Chattanooga and the city’s railroad heritage and incorporated the Tennessee state bird. The term “Moc” is short for “Mockingbird.” Mockingbirds are fiercely territorial creatures which protect their homes with courage, determination and skill. Those Introduced in 2008, the new-look Scrappy has attributes reflect the intellect, spirit a sharper and more modern feel, mirroring the growth and image of UTC Athletics. 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.
2011 VOLLEYBALL
SCRAPPY
14
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 sledge-hammer wielding mockingbird with a heart of Blue & Gold,” Scrappy symbolizes that competitive passion.
WHY MOCS? 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 1920s and an Indian was used until the year of major change in 1996. A moccasin shoe was even used in the 1980s. 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.
The “Power C” logo is the primary mark of
The committee also recognized the need Chattanooga Mocs Athletics. 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. In September 2008, Scrappy was rebranded 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 and old gold.
The Cowcatcher logo has been recently modified, but is still in use by UTC Athletics.

2011 SEASON OUTLOOK “A New Direction” of Chattanooga volleyball begins in the 2011 season under the guidance of Travis Filar, who became the sixth head coach in the history of the program on February 17, 2011. He has brought a distinct vision built upon family into the program. Filar quickly changed the culture for the Mocs in the spring by focusing on communication on the court and building trust between the student-athletes. He has also brought in an experienced coaching staff in assistants Savanah Parra, Taylor Wittmer and volunteer Duane Hill. The young Mocs squad contains just one senior in Ellie Kuhn and returns seven players that held contributing roles a season ago. An incoming freshman class of Jessi Blackstock, Melissa Green and Kasey Talley along with the addition of sophomore setter Bridget Camacho from VCU and Chattanooga has depth at key positions.
SETTERS Everything runs through the setter and is one of the most influential positions on the court. A duo of sophomores in returner Tess Kosycarz and newcomer Bridget Camacho look to guide and direct the hitters on the offensive attack. “Our goal is to run a quick, fast-paced offense along the net,” stated Filar. “The competiveness between the two setters has been amazing during the camp. Our 6-on-6 scrimmages have been evenly matched showing that each of them are running their sides very effectively.” Kosycarz saw action in 22 matches last season backing up Bailee Chastain, who finished her career in the top 10 on the Mocs all-time assists list with 1,940. The Temecula, Calif., native compiled a team-leading 7.69 assists-per-set, while defensively registering a 1.73

digs-per-set average. “Tess has grown a lot from the coaching staff challenging her in the spring,” said Filar. “She worked hard this summer in improving her location and technical setting ability. She has used her voice to direct traffic and be a leader on the court.” One of the biggest additions to the Mocs team is Camacho, who assisted in running an effective 6-2 system at VCU as the squad went 9-5 in the Colonial Athletic Association to close the year. The Cumming, Ga., native appeared in 28 matches for the Rams and totaled 3.83 assists and 1.74 digs per set playing in the back row. “After running a slower-tempo offense at VCU, we are challenging Bridget to come back to one of her strengths coming out of high school, which was an uptempo offense,” said Filar. “She has built an excellent connection with the hitters during camp and is an effective defensive player.” Filar quickly turned an area that could have been a weakness coming out of the spring into a position of depth and strength for the Mocs. Chattanooga has two setters capable of starting and leading the team on the court. They will continue pushing each other competitively every day in practice.

HEATHER PARMAN
2011 VOLLEYBALL
OUTSIDE HITTERS
16
Junior Heather Parman and sophomore Jennifer Kuroski have been dynamic hitters for the Mocs during the preseason and bring experience to a vital position. They have stepped up and grown as outside hitters, as junior Meagan Ernd continues rehab following shoulder surgery in the spring. Junior Julie Barnes and sophomore Andrea Johnson along with freshman Jessi Blackstock provide depth on the outside. Parman competed in 30 matches last year and was the featured outside hitter for much of the season recording 2.18 kills per set. The Ooltewah, Tenn., native was an all-around player digging up 2.15 attacks per set. “Heather has worked really hard this summer and hits a lovely ball,” said Filar. “She is beginning to understand that you need to have other shots in your repertoire to go to when you are struggling or going up against double blocks. It has taken awhile, but she is now realizing that she can score just as easily by tipping or a deep roll shot and score with the same effectiveness.” The freshman season for Kuroski was all about learning to be consistent. She started off as a dominating player during the non-conference schedule by starting the first 13 matches with the highlight being a 19 kill performance against Illinois-Chicago. The Acworth, Ga., native finished with tying for the team-lead at 2.36 kills per set. “Jennifer has shown a lot of maturation like Heather as an outside hitter,” said Filar. “Realizing that she is going
JENNIFER KUROSKI to get a high-volume of swings and understanding the importance of moving the ball around the court by using different angles and shots has increased her effectiveness. She has provided a lot of big kills for us and decreased the number of errors from the spring.” The emergence of Ernd during the SoCon portion last year enabled for the Mocs to have two formidable outside hitters. The Munster, Ind., native notched 1.87 kills per set during the campaign, but an injury has slowed her progress so far this fall. “Once Meagan’s shoulder completely heals, I believe that she can have a presence as an attacker,” said Filar. “Right now, she has had an opportunity to focus and improve her back row play in passing and defense. Hopefully, she has the ability to swing at full speed soon.” Another player that has dealt with injuries is Barnes, who spent last year recovering from a knee injury and for the first time in almost two seasons is completely healthy. Blackstock is continuing to adjust to the game and could definitely be a contributor from either pin as a reserve. “Jessi has come in, asked a ton of questions and is learning on the go as a freshman,” said Filar. “She is an athletic attacker, who has the ability to play all-theway around once she adjusts to our system.” Parman and Kuroski have solidified themselves as threats on the outside through the process of being smarter hitters, but with Barnes, Blackstock and Ernd complementing them, the Mocs have options on the outside.
CHRISTINA TETER RIGHT SIDE The emergence of junior Christina Teter in the offseason has been important for the Mocs in having a go-to player on the right side. Sophomore Andrea Johnson has trained on the right side along with Blackstock. Teter became a force on the front row with her 6-2 frame in 2010 recording 1.85 kills and 0.71 blocks per set. “Christina became a go-to player from an attacking and blocking standpoint this spring,” said Filar. “She needs to continue growing by realizing that she can’t hit it hard every time. She is a dominant blocker for us because she picks a good spot and really presses over the net, creating a blocking presence every time she is in the front row. She has the potential to have a big, breakout year for us.” Johnson saw action last year in 15 matches primarily as a defensive specialist. She has trained on the right side to provide depth. She also contributed nine service aces last season. The Soddy Daisy, Tenn., native has worked hard all summer making great strides in becoming more physical and quicker. “Andrea has become an extremely steady passing and defending, while being one of our most aggressive and consistent servers” said Filar. “Our team can score a lot of points when she is serving, because her serve generally takes the opponent out of system. She is still coming around with her hitting and has taken advantage of the opportunities she has been given.”

SCHEDULE
ELLIE KUHN
PAULA PASSMORE LIBEROS
Leading the team and middle is senior Ellie Kuhn, who has been the most consistent attacker for the Mocs in camp. She will fill the void left by Courtney Barnes, who paced the Mocs in kills the past two seasons. Sophomore Aneisha Christie and freshman Kasey Talley are going to be asked to step up and contribute on a regular basis in the middle. Kuhn registered 1.61 kills per set for Chattanooga, while connecting at a .257 rate. She has totaled at least 100 blocks in the past two seasons and enters the year eighth on the block assists chart with 223. “Ellie has done a tremendous job of leading with her voice and play as a senior with high expectations for this year,” said FIlar. “She has become technically better at blocking, which will help her be more of a presence in the middle. We are really excited to give her the ball as much as we can in transition, because she can be one of our most dominant attackers and has learned to better the ball if the set is not perfect.” Christie saw time in just one match last season, but the ability to train and further learn the position has been important. The Alpharetta, Ga., native has worked hard on becoming more of an offensive threat by working on her timing with the setters. “Aneisha is someone who has been really impressive in preseason camp,” said Filar. “Her energy, work ethic and strong communication on the court has caught the eyes of the coaches. When she is disciplined in her blocking, then she can be a very effective blocker at the net.” Not many freshmen can come in and be versatile, but Talley has the ability to play outside, middle blocker or right side. “Kasey is a very dynamic athlete that can control her body in the air,” said Filar. “She has effortless movement and is a great blocking presence. She is very driven on and off the court.”
The tradition of excellent play from the libero position for Chattanooga has continued with junior Paula Passmore, who was named the 2010 SoCon Libero of the Year. She dug up a conference-best 654 attacks, while compiling 5.45 digs per set. “Paula is always going to be that servant leader,” said Filar. “She is going to have a great relationship with everyone on the team through being positive and encouraging. She provides us with great stability in the back row from a passing and defending standpoint.” Freshman Melissa Green has been pushing Passmore during preseason camp, and 6-on-6 scrimmages have been competitive and intense with two capable liberos leading each side. The Boca Raton, Fla., native is a defensive specialist that will see time on the court in the back row for the Mocs. “Melissa is a fierce competitor, driven and a great communicator on the court,” said Filar. “She has steadily improved as a passer and defender since arriving on campus.” The Mocs have a great luxury in having a player like Green pushing Passmore each and every practice. Competition between the two is key and should provide a solid back row that keeps the offense in system.
2011 VOLLEYBALL
MIDDLE BLOCKERS
The 2011 slate for Chattanooga poses its challenges during the non-conference portion before heading into the always difficult SoCon season. The Southern Miss Invitational (8/26-27) begins the campaign featuring the host Golden Eagles, Northwestern (La.) State and Jackson State. On Aug. 30, the first home match at Maclellan Gym of the Filar era puts the Mocs against Belmont. A short trip down I-75 to Kennesaw State for the Owl Invitational allows for Camacho, Christie and Kuroski to play near their hometowns. Chattanooga battles Oral Roberts and Winthrop along with the host Owls. The Mocs host a tournament of their own, the Country Inns & Suites Invitational, on Sept. 9-10 as East Tennessee State, UNC Asheville and Tennessee Tech are welcomed to the Scenic City. Tournament action wraps up with the Hokie Classic on Sept. 16-17 with matches against Connecticut and host Virginia Tech. Before entering SoCon play, the Mocs travel to Alabama A&M (9/20) for a mid-week contest. Chattanooga begins the league schedule with a road trip to Western Carolina (9/25) and Appalachian State (9/25). Mercer invades Maclellan Gym on Sept. 28 before the Mocs head to Wofford (10/1). The Southern Rail Rivalry Series begins on Oct. 5 at Samford. Chattanooga then begins a four-match home stand against UNC Greensboro (10/8), Elon (10/9), College of Charleston (10/15) and The Citadel (10/16). A return trip to Mercer on Oct. 18 occurs before UTC heads to Davidson (10/22) and Georgia Southern (10/23). The Mocs host Furman (10/27) and Samford (10/28) on weeknights. Matches at UNCG (11/4) and Elon (11/5) are the next stops. To conclude the season, Chattanooga hosts Appalachian State (11/12) and Western Carolina (11/13). A primary goal for this year’s squad is to finish in the top four in the North Division and play in the SoCon Tournament hosted by Samford on Nov. 18-20. The champion of the eight-team event earns the league’s automatic berth into the NCAA Championship.

Over the last five years, Hart has changed the landscape of the UTC Athletics Department with his leadership, organizational skills and innovative ideas on how to fulfill the Mocs’ mission of preparing students for productive and meaningful lives.
