Nighthawk's Claim Southern Utah Classic IIII Championship in Pine Valley Mountains!

(Oak Grove, Utah)_Doug Spendlove's vision of an outdoor ZFL tourney in the Pine Valley Mountains proved to be not only a great stage for John Denney's first ZFL Championship, but also provided one of the most excellent partyin' ZFL tourneys held in recent years. Lots of ZFL fans and teams camped out among the tall pines and enjoyed a great ZFL weekend featuring dutch oven food, live music, and good old fashion friendship at sweet Oak Grove Campground on August 8th. John's Nighthawks soared over the mountains, winning four ZFL tournament games by a combined total of 12 points on the way to his first ZFL Crown. His Nighthawks got sweet revenge in the title tilt when they hung on to beat the ZFL's hottest team, Shawn's Assassins, 33-26. John's Nighthawks led the Assassins 26-7 at halftime.
