Most Memorable Moments in Flag Football: Winning the 2000 St. Louis NTFL Touch Football Tournament. It rained like crazy all weekend long and the mud on the field was 2 inches thick. As we stood on the field in triumph, the clouds opened up and the sun came shining down on us. This was also the year our Mother passed away. We believe that she was looking down on us from Heaven and was happy we won. She always came to the games & was very dear to us all!
