Every Nov. 2 since 2007, the City of Arlington honors Movin’ Mavs alumnus and head coach Aaron Gouge with his very own day, Aaron Gouge Day, dedicated to his time as a UTA player.
Gouge’s ‘06-‘07 season included National Wheelchair Basketball Association first team and Most Valuable Player nods for his stellar performance with the Movin’ Mavs. He was also announced to the 12-man Parapan American Games Team USA roster.
Few can claim such an honor, but for Gouge, it came during his time as an athlete at UTA. Following a sophomore season filled with accomplishments, Gouge was surprised by the city, family and teammates.
