CHATTANOOGA—It’s Homecoming Week in the Scenic City! It’s an exciting time with alums coming home for the weekend along with the hustle and bustle of current students enjoying the pageantry. In the meantime, it’s also a pivotal week in the Southern Conference title race.
The Chattanooga Mocs host Furman at 1:30 p.m. The two squads are in the thick of the league title hunt. The Mocs are 4-3, 3-1 in conference play sitting a half-game out of first. The Paladins are 2-2 looking to muck up the standings with four games remaining.
Chattanooga looks to continue a new trend. For the last two weekends, the Mocs claimed two of the three Southern Conference weekly honors. Last week’s demolition of Samford led to nods for Rashun Freeman (defense) and Aaron Sears (special teams). Freeman had five tackles, one for loss, and a pick 6, while Sears registered a season-best 13 points making all seven PATs and 2-2 for FG (21, 40).
There’s also a special opportunity to get a sneak peek at this year’s wrestling program. While it’s easy to do online with the current series by weight class well under way – 125/133, 141/149 & 157/165 are published – the team is also on display Saturday. The annual Blue-Gold match is scheduled in the First Horizon Pavilion during tailgating.
