🥋 THE COACH C CAT DADDY REPORT – WEEK 8 🥋

Written by Coach C | SemiPro GameDay

Final week of the 13th season of the CMFL, and this last weekend of matchups is sure to be emotional, fierce, and a sigh of relief for some of our favorite teams.

I want to give a special shoutout to both Kansas City Panthers Head Coach Jimmie Ross and Kansas Diamondbacks Head Coach Tyrone Jones, who are coaching in their final regular-season home games this weekend. Thank you both for all the lives you have touched and all of the blood, sweat, and tears you put into building those historic programs.

With that said, we have an awesome slate of games that will surely affect the playoffs. So enough talking—let's get to the games!

Oklahoma Hawks
at Arkansas Warcats

Despite their records, I expect this game to be a very good one between these teams. While both teams have issues with numbers, I salute both of them for finishing the season strong and not folding or forfeiting any games.

Between the two, I think the Warcats have just a bit more firepower to get it done in a tight one.

Gimme the Warcats!

🔮 27-20 Warcats

Columbia Vipers
at ECMO Eagles

In another game featuring teams looking for their first on-field win, I don't think this one will be much of a contest.

The Eagles survived possibly the most daunting schedule in the league without folding or forfeiting. The young Vipers squad had one forfeit on the season.

I think the Eagles will be okay going into the offseason through addition by subtraction and by getting rid of the cancers that changed the team's hardhat culture.

I like the Birds in this one.

🔮 34-13 Eagles

#8 Wichita Skyhawks
at #10 Kansas Diamondbacks

In what could be the final game ever for the Diamondbacks, they face crosstown rival Wichita Skyhawks in a game that will determine the fourth seed in the Great Plains.

This game could be spicy but respectful given the circumstances. I think if the Diamondbacks can keep it close, they have a shot. But The Goons, fresh off a one-point loss to the number-one team in the league, are going to be too much and punch their ticket to the playoffs.

Nighty Nite, We Take Flight!

🔮 26-13 Skyhawks

#9 Kansas City Bulldogs
at #5 Kansas City Panthers

"The Fountain City Classic"

Given what happened in the Falcons game, you would think the Bulldogs could put up a good fight against the Panthers. But rumors of a good portion of the team quitting are never good. I hope that is not the case here, but we shall see.

Now this Panthers team is angry and ready to put on a show and clinch the number-one seed in the Gateway.

With that said...

They Bang, They Ball,
Sending them boys back to fall...

Panthers in Fo'.

🔮 35-14 Panthers

🚨 Upset Special 🚨

#7 Missouri Cyclones
at #4 St. Louis Falcons

"The Battle for the Lou"

This may very well be the game that leaves everyone wanting more.

The Falcons and their Street Sweeper offense come rolling, and it seems like once they get started, it is hard to stop 2026 MVP candidate QB Justin Baker and those speedy wide receivers.

The thing that worries me is that the Falcons defense has given up 40 points in two of its last three games and allowed the Eagles to score a season high.

We gonna start calling them the Pop-Tart Defense if they keep being this soft in the middle!

With that said, they're not stopping star RB Cliff Chandler, who is closing in on 1,000 yards on the season, especially if the Demolition Crew offensive line gets going.

Get that money ready, YNs, because THE RENT'S DUE!

I'm taking the Clones!

🔮 38-24 Clones

⭐️ CMFL Game of the Week

"The Game" Part 1

#3 Joplin Crusaders
at #6 Oklahoma Bears

The first installment of this series pits two rivals who do not like each other at all in a showdown for home-field advantage in the playoffs.

The Crusaders come in with 2026 MVP candidate QB Aason Cross and the Fastest Show on Turf, who have been putting up amazing numbers all season long and look to continue that here.

Cross needs this game to lose the stigma that he can only roll up lesser teams.

Defensively, the Crusaders defense has allowed the fewest points in the league and will have to step up big time to stop that Bears rushing attack, which I think is going to get steamrolling moving forward.

If they hold the Bears below 100 rushing yards as a team, they have this one in the bag.

BUT NOT SO FAST, MY FRIEND!

The Bears, in the SPGD Era, have only lost once at home, and they will not be doing that in this one.

Look for that rushing attack behind RBs Terrell Buchanan and Tae Moore to get rolling, with QBs Garrett Griffith and Devin White keeping the defense honest in both the passing and running game.

Watch for star DE Devin Colbert Sr. and The Gold Standard Defense to destroy the Cru up front and make tonight a long night for Aason Cross.

LB LeAndre Turner and Tyrone Elix plan on setting up shop in that backfield and making themselves real comfortable.

I just think the Bears are going to be too physical up front, although that one loss I mentioned before did come to the Crusaders...

With that said, there ain't no Hitman to save them this time...

GIMME MY COACH COX SHADES!!!!!!

The Bears begin their run to the title game in this one!!!

🔮 32-20 Bears

🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

Rivalry Weekend 2026 will be one to remember!

Until next time, fellas!!!

Scores from across the league in Week 7!
