Jenna Mosley commits to play softball at the University of Tennessee
On Tuesday September 1st, Jenna Mosley began the next journey in her very successful softball career as she committed to the University of Tennessee and Co-Head Coaches Ralph and Karen Weekly. Jenna has worked extremely hard the last few years to have the opportunity to play collegiate softball at the Power 5 level. She becomes the first softball player from Trion High School to play in the SEC.
Jenna is the daughter of Chris and Brandi Mosley of Summerville, GA. She attends Trion High School where she is a 4.0 student and the recipient of many academic and athletic honors. At Trion High School she is coached by Jason Lanham, Trent Stamey, and the staff. Jenna is in her fifth year with ProStar Fastpitch and has been a backbone of the program each year. At Trion Jenna is also a member of the basketball team.
Jenna is one of the premier power hitters in the South. But unlike some power hitters she possesses the speed of a slapper and is considered one of the best baserunners in the area. Jenna has played multiple positions over the years including pitcher and catcher but spends most of her time in the infield at shortstop, second or third base. The University of Tennessee envisions her as a middle infielder and will probably look at her at second base during her freshman year. Over the last several years Jenna has attended multiple camps at colleges throughout the South and was on the radar of many Power 5 schools before the NCAA changed the recruiting calendar. She had several Power 5 schools interested in her continuing in college with them --- most notably SEC and ACC schools.
Jenna attends Harvest Worship Center. She has received numerous honors including Beta Club, National Society of High School Scholars and Mu Alpha Theta. On the softball side, she was a USSSA Futures All-American and a member of the USA Elite Select 30 1st Team selection.
QUOTES FROM JENNA
"I would like to thank my parents for allowing me to play games, attend camps , and visit schools all through the South the last several years. They saw something in me before I saw it in myself. In addition they were extremely talented athletes and have always served as my role models. It would be remiss not to thank Coach Ralph and Coach Karen for this opportunity. As I visited different camps and schools they were the coaches that I was most drawn to as a player. I feel they will work with me as a person, a student , and an athlete to be the best I can be. The University of Tennessee will also allow me to compete against the best players in the nation and for a National Championship. I know how blessed I am and I understand the work is just beginning!"
"I also want to thank Coach Chattin for his endless support of my softball endeavors and for working with me to improve my softball skills and my mental approach to the game and to life. All the coaches of ProStar Fastpitch --- Gary, Jason, Mom, and Dad have impacted my life both on and off the field. Joining ProStar several years ago put me on the right path to receive this scholarship offer."
"I also need to thank Coach Lanham, Coach Stamey, and the staff at Trion as well as my teammates on ProStar Fastpitch and Trion High School. We are creating memories that will last a lifetime. You have allowed me to be a leader, a teammate, and a friend."
QUOTES FROM COACH CHATTIN
"The first time I saw Jenna play softball her God-Given ability was evident. She was athletic and her parents had given her a solid fundamental foundation. She knew what she wanted to achieve in softball and I would like to think that we provided her an opportunity and a plan for success. While Jenna has improved her skills the last few years her biggest improvement has been in her maturity and mental approach to the game and to life. I told a Coach last week that Jenna now possesses the maturity of a 20 something year old player and I appreciate the fact that she let us coach her hard and she took it and she learned from it."
"Some players work to achieve a scholarship to a prestigious softball power like the University of Tennessee and then stop working, that will not happen with Jenna. Not only does she understand the work has just started she has plans to show up at UT and prove she can start immediately. I expect big things out of her. So many people in her situation would be happy to be the big star in the small town but I am proud of the way she has stepped out of her comfort zone in tournaments, camps, and now in her college decision. We will see her on TV one day helping lead the Big Orange to victory."

Zoe Wright commits to UTC
The phone call that Zoe Wright has waited years for came Monday night at 12:01AM. That was the first time that a Division I college softball coach could call and talk to a member of the 2022 class. Zoe Wright committed to the University of Tennessee -- Chattanooga Mocs and Head Coach Frank Reed upon receiving that call.
Zoe attends Heritage High School where she is a member of the 2 time defending State Champs coached by Tanner Moore. Her parents are Amanda Wright of Ringgold and Chris Wright of Chattanooga. She has been a member of ProStar Fastpitch since its inception in 2015 and before that played for Coach Chattin and Coach Gary Hammontree on the Generals Select program that evolved into ProStar Fastpitch. She has been coached by them since she was 10 years old.
Zoe is a slick fielding shortstop that is a slap-hitter with legitimate 2.7 home to first speed. While primarily a SS for both ProStar Fastpitch and Heritage High School she is capable of playing any position on the field and immediately being the best player at that position. She has been receiving interest from colleges since her 7th grade year and would have already committed if the NCAA had not changed their recruiting rules. While we do not list all the colleges that show interest in our players we can safely say that Zoe had interest from several Power 5 schools but she has had her mind set on staying local and playing for Coach Reed after attending multiple UTC camps over the years.
Zoe attends Burning Bush Baptist Church and is involved in the Leadership Group at Heritage. She has received numerous softball accolades over the years in both high school and Select. She is undecided on her collegiate major.
QUOTES FROM ZOE
"There are really too many people to say thanks to but I would like to start with Coach Reed for offering me this opportunity. College will be a place I can continue to play the game I love and continue to grow as a person and into the career that I choose with my major. Of course none of this would have been possible without my parents. Both of my parents have supported my softball endeavors from the time I was too young to understand it til now. One of the reasons I wanted to stay local was so my parents and friends could come support me."
"I would like to thank Coach Chattin, Coach Hammontree and all the coaches of ProStar Fastpitch for working with me to become the player I am today. Coach Chattin and Coach Hammontree saw something in me when I was 10 and allowed to not only play with their teams but they challenged me by allowing me to play in older age divisions and to practice with girls that were 8 years older. That influenced my approach to the game. Over the last few years I have also been blessed to have Jason , Chris, and Brandi coach our team."
Finally I want to thank Coach Moore and the staff at Heritage for giving me the opportunity to win 2 state championships and hopefully a third this year. Their leadership and my teammates have allowed us to win those State Championships and to have fun while winning."
QUOTES FROM COACH CHATTIN
"Zoe is one of the most talented young ladies I have ever had the pleasure to coach. In addition to talent it is her loyalty over the last eight years that has endeared her to myself and all of our coaches. When she was as young as 12 Coach Hammontree made the statement that she was the best player in the program ages 11-18. We want all of our players to find the best fit for their collegiate play and I firmly believe that the best fit for Zoe is Coach Reed and the Mocs of Chattanooga"
"Zoe has the type of speed and the intelligence on the bases to be a game changer at any level. This was the first thing that set her apart from other players her age. Then she has developed her skills as a hitter and a defensive player. She is one of the best in the South at making the play in the 5-6 hole and still having the arm to throw the runner out. As a hitter she can slap / bunt / and hit away. This will allow her to transition to the collegiate game earlier than some slap hitters. She will have an immediate impact on the program at UTC."
