John's High Flying Nighthawks Capture East Virgin Invitational III!

(Hurricane, Utah) Throughout the years John's Nighthawks and Beau's Cowboys have battled in many Zion Football League tournament contests. Their ZFL rivalry peaked on September 19th when these two ZFL powers clashed for armchair football glory when they both fought their way into the championship game of the relocated East Virgin Invitational. The title tilt started out as a defensive struggle as the Nighthawks and the Cowboys battled to a 14-14 halftime tie. The powerful Nighthawk dice then rolled for four rushing touchdowns to break open the game, handing coach John his second Zion Football League Crown.

Once again the Spendlove family opened their home as the East Virgin Invitational was relocated from Virgin on short notice. The Spendloves provided lots of great food and football fun times for the ZFL faithful. Thanks from the ZFL!
