chattanooga MOCS

Allan Morris was the long-time sports editor of the Chattanooga News-Free Press.  He worked at the local paper from 1936 until his death in 1981. He covered the Mocs with the same energy as he concentrated on the Atlanta Braves and the Atlanta Falcons.

With his trademark cigar always in reach, Morris was just as much of a fixture with UTC athletics as legend Scrappy Moore and Sandy Sandlin.  The Central High School graduate was just 16 when he stared covering UC, and provided years of outstanding exposure for the University and its athletic programs.
