Shawn's Assassins Rally and Clip Mike's Posse 42-41 in Riffian Invitational XXX Championship!

(Zion National Park, Utah) Crafting one of the greatest championship comebacks in Zion Football League history, Shawn's amazing Assassins overcame a
41-14 halftime deficit to rally past Mike's Posse 42-41 in the championship game of Riffian Invitational XXX held at Mike's cabin on October 23rd. The Assassins roll to glory highlighted a exciting day of armchair football that featured great food, good times, and some of the most exciting ZFL action in history. Mike's Riffian Invitational continues to provide an excellent stage for the ZFL's best teams as evidenced by the two overtime games that featured exciting shootout action. Jim's Gold Miners edged Doug's Parowan 41-34, in five overtimes, in what was the longest (and perhaps best) armchair football game ever played in the 34 year history of the Zion Football League. John's Nighthawks and Kathy's Madame K provided extra overtime thrills in their opening round as the Nighthawks slipped past Madame K 30-27 in a triple overtime treat. That thriller was only the 4th ZFL tourney game to go into three overtimes.
