Southern Utah Classic I Assassinated!

(St. George, Utah)_The JTP Dome, the fashionable home of those young St. George studs - Justin, Tim and Preston - was a great venue for the ZFL's newest tournament -The Southern Utah Classic I held on Tuesday August 14. Shawn took a likin' to the downtown digs and led his Assassins
to their first ever ZFL Tournament Championship. The Assassins won a thrilling contest in the championship game, rallying from a 19-0 deficit to shock Helen's Mynx 28-26. In semi-final action, coach Shawn led his defense to a last minute goal line stand as the Assassins took out Posse 27-21. Shawn's good tournament play highlighted a great ZFL tournament that featured 6 games decided by a touchdown or less.
