Assassins Kill at East Virgin Invitational II, and Claim Third ZFL Tournament Crown in 2009!

(Virgin, Utah)_Coach Helen Fitzgerald and her Menacin' Mynx were on the verge of winning her first ZFL crown since 2004, leading 23-17 midway in the fourth quarter of the championship game at the second annual East Virgin Invitational. Shawn's Assassins then returned a Mynx interception 30 yards for a touchdown and recovered one of two Mynx fumbled kick-off returns for another touchdown and went on to win his third ZFL tournament in 2009 with an impressive performance. The Assassins are now firmly entrenched on top the ZFL with a 16 win 3 loss record and three ZFL Crowns. Helen's Mynx finished in second place for the eight time in her Hall of Fame career and she not won a ZFL tournament since the Riffian Invitational XXIV in 2004.

Susie and Shawn were great hosts, providing fun, friendship, and some excellent jambalaya among the scenic lava flows of East Virgin.
