Most Memorable Moment in Flag & Touch Football: Everything to do with Z & S Football is most memorable, but I will name 8 moments: 1-being part of Z & S team family, 2-the 3 year plan, 3-the flight/trip to St. Louis, 4-sharing ink with the team, 5-the Chicago trip-the bus-the win-the walk-singing Hidy-Hidy-Ho, 6-Saturday practices that began at 3:00pm at Z & S Lounge and ended Monday at 2:30am at the Swamp Club, 7-National Championship #1-1986/29-2; National Championship #2-1987-30-1; National Championship #3-1988-25-0, 8-Most important and last, but always on my mind: In memory of Andrew A.C. Gough-my son. To all the weekend travel to Z & S Lounge, the nights in the van, the days at practices & games, the trip to the Nationals with his smile that never quit. This Hall of Fame honor is what Andy always wanted for me.
