Heat Captures Southern Utah Classic IV Championship at Cool Kolob Reservoir!

(Kolob Reservoir, Utah)With only nine plays left in the Southern Utah Classic IV Championship Game, Tony's Stoners were on verge of winning their 14th ZFL title after they burned Tim's Heat on a 81 yard TD Punt Return. That special teams adventure gave the Stoners a 21-20 lead, their first of the game. On the ensuing drive the powerful Heat offense drove deep inside Stoner country before kicking a 42 yard Field Goal and grabbing a 23-21 lead. The Kolob Crowd then held it's breath as the Stoners moved quickly downfield. Only when the surprisin' Stoners missed a 45 yard field goal attempt on the last play could the Heat Nation celebrate as Coach Tim Spendlove captured his fourth ZFL Championship.
Kolob Superstar Doug Spendlove and his junior ranger staff created a memorable setting for the SUC tourney. Beau & O, Shawn, and Preston all worked hard to provide excellent food, firewood, and other outdoor fun in creating a unique ZFL experience above 8,000 feet in elevation...
