In honor of the 50th anniversary of the University of Chattanooga class of 1966, here are a few of the highlights from the 1965-1966 school year:<\/p>\n

(1) The last minute 15-14 win against the previously undefeated Xavier Muskies for the homecoming game of 1965<\/a>. The class of 1966 can take pride in being one of the final cohorts to witness the legendary coaching of A.C. “Scrappy Moore,” who retired in 1967.<\/p>\n
