CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A local Chattanooga business made a big impact on the hardwood on April 3rd. Praters Flooring, an industry leader in sports flooring and custom court graphics, proudly provided the PlayOn decals used during a pivotal game where the local Chattanooga Mocs clinched a major victory.

The playing surface was outfitted with Praters' signature PlayOn decals, designed for easy application and removal, ensuring top-tier performance while giving the floor a professional, branded look.

"We take a lot of pride in what we do, but nothing feels better than seeing our work make a difference right here at home," said John Prater, President of Praters Flooring.
