Today, the road all runners come,<br />

Shoulder-high we bring you home,<br />

And set you at your threshold down,<br />

Townsman of a stiller town.<br />

Smart lad, to slip betimes away<br />

From fields where glory does not stay<br />

And early though the laurel grows<br />

It withers quicker than the rose.<br />

In the memory of Marco Sheppard, the Chattanooga football program<br />

will present “The Marco Sheppard Mr. Hustle Award” annually. This award<br />

will be given to the Mocs football player who displays the hustle, the<br />

leadership skills and the desire to be the best – the same characteristics<br />

that set Marco apart from anyone else. The initial Mr. Hustle Award was<br />

presented in 1998 by former head coach Buddy Green to Marco’s mother,<br />

Mabel, and Marco’s alma mater, DeKalb High School, in Atlanta, Ga.<br />
