Come celebrate all things Mocs with the fifth annual Coca-Cola Scrappy Awards on Thursday, April 14, at the Tivoli Theater in Chattanooga.

During that span, UTC has won four Southern Conference titles, had three teams ranked in the top-25 in the nation, and twice posted a school-record grade point average.
