Jim's Gold Miners Capture Holiday Bowl XXI as Absent Assassins Finish 2012 as ZFL's Best Team!

(St. George, Utah)_Blasting their way through the ZFL's 21st Holiday Bowl and cruising to four tournament wins, Jim's Gold Miners played awesome defense in the title tilt earning a 13-3 defensive battle victory over Beau's mighty Cowboys. The only touchdown scored in the final game came when the Gold Miners ran back a Cowboy interception 32 yards in the first quarter.

Jim's championship romp allowed Shawn's absent Assassins to finish 2012 as the Zion Football League's best ZFL tournament team - the only team to win two ZFL Crowns.

Beau and Candi provided a most delicous turkey and ham feast with all the trimmings that, combined with treats from other ZFL fans, provided a great southern Utah holiday festivus in their beautiful Dixie home.
