Just wanted to let you guys know that my brother Roger Southerland who went by the screen name Ru4mocs passed away very unexpectedly from a massive heart attack. He was a long time supporter for the UTC Mocs, mostly in basketball. However, Roger loved all sports and was a familar face at many local high school football and basketball games. He had in past years developed a keen interest in high school wrestling as he came many times to see his nephew compete. It was a little strange to see the UTC blue and gold there with the black and gold of the Bradley faithful, but he was there to give his support.

The Bradley Wrestling Family is extremely sad to hear this news. Roger was a huge UTC supporter, but we also claim him as a Bradley Bear. He not only supported us at matches and tournaments, but has come to our defense more than a few times on this forum! We'll miss him....

I am very saddened to hear of the lose the Southerland family has suffered. My thoughts go out to the family. I know that the wrestling family here will also miss him very much, as trivial as it was (compared to his involvement with his family) I always enjoyed conversations involving him here.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Rogers family. This is really stunning news to me. It had become normal to see Roger at many high school sporting events. Just two weeks ago at a Ooltewah high school football game, Roger and I had a long conversation about chattanooga mocs sports and high school sports, especially wrestling. He was really excited about the upcoming wrestling season not only for the mocs, but for Bradley High school. He was very excited and proud of what his nephew had accomplished so far and for his future. He always would keep me up to date on what was going on in the chattanooga wrestling seen. I will really miss talking to him this up coming wrestling season!

      2A State Tournament

      I think Alcoa and Westview are favorites in top bracket and Huntingdon and Meigs in bottom bracket.  Westview and Huntingdon both have great pitching.  I think Huntingdon has more offense than Westview.

      Starting to pick up for Sam. He has 4 or 5 offers now and more on the way. By mid season the Warriors should have 5 or 6 kids with offers.

      Defending 2A state Champs Westview Lady Chargers are pretty tough. They lost a bunch of production off last year's squad but returned some talent as well. They still McCall Simms, a Tennesseee Lady Vol softball commit as well as solid talent around the diamond. I dont think they are as good as last season but they will definitely be a tough out. Huntingdon Lady Mustangs seem to be pretty stout as well. Don't know much about Riverside other than Westview defeated them earlier in regions. West Tennessee softball is pretty solid all around id say.

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      Eagleville couldn’t catch up to Jones, he did have his location issues but in that game Eagleville popped up everything and the one hit they did have could have been ruled an error. Jeffcoat was a lot sharper in the beginning of the season last year than the end. ER ran out of pitching and still was in striking distance but none the less the better team one. Last seasons tournament was A LOT more balanced and talented. South Pitts starter is a Lefty who was low 80’s but couldn’t maintain his velo throughout the  outing, their #2 was more impressive last year, we knocked him around this year and his mph was down some. Their #3 isn’t bad neither, throws a lot of strikes and sits high 70’s.
