Most memorable moment in flag & touch football: When we won our 1^st National Championship, we lost the 2^nd game of the first day. Wow is all we could say! We all that “we done it again” look on our faces. Myself, Scotty 2 Hotty, and flagmann got everyone together for a night out that turned into the inspiration we needed. I bought a couple of key players lap dances till they could not sit right. Anyway, we played our 1^st game at 8 in the morning & won 8 straight games to win the National Flag Football Championship. I will never, EVER forget my 25 brothers on that day!
