Parowan Rams Patriot Bowl IV!

(Hurricane, Utah)_The Patriot Bowl, held on Sunday July 6th, featured a ZFL championship game that featured two of the league's best teams. Defense was the rule as both Doug's Parowan Rams and Mike's Posse fought for every yard and dice roll, before the Posse took a 14-10 lead with a 10 yard TD short pass on the last play of the third quarter. The fourth quarter was all defense as both teams were unable to move the football. After a Posse interception with eleven plays left in the game, the P-Rams drove 65 yards and scored a 1 yard TD double reverse to steal a 17-14 championship win and soar to an amazing 8-1 record in 2008 ZFL
tournaments.
