(St. George, Utah)_Rolling over three tough ZFL opponents, coach Tony and his Stoners captured their fourteenth Zion Football League tournament crown as they won the nineteenth annual Southern Utah Championship, held at Helen's scenic Dixie Downs home on February 12th.

Enroute to the title tilt the Stoners pumped Doug's Parowan 35-24 in quarter-final action before winning an epic 24-17 semi-final battle over Giovanni's Eagles. In the championship game, Tony rolled for nine touchdowns and led 56-20 early in the fourth quarter before Beau's Cowboys were able to score a couple of touchdowns to make the final score a little closer.

Tony and Helen were gracious hosts and provided a warm and friendly setting for the Southern Utah Championship for the eleventh straight year.
