 THE WAIT IS OVER. THE STAGE IS SET.
THE WAIT IS OVER. THE STAGE IS SET.
CMFL Championship XIII is HERE!
After months of hard-hitting football, relentless preparation, and championship-level competition, the smoke has finally cleared.
Only two remain.
Gateway Conference Champions
St. Joe Bucks (9-1)
vs.
Defending Great Plains 
& CMFL Champions
Oklahoma Bears (8-2)
One game.
One trophy.
One champion.
The Bucks, led by dynamic quarterback Keante Green, explosive playmakers Cade Chapell, Garyeon Simpson, and John Winkler, arrive determined to complete a historic season and bring the championship back to St. Joseph.
Standing in their way is the reigning champion Oklahoma Bears, anchored by elite quarterbacks Garrett Griffith and Devin White, dominant offensive lineman Paris Williams, disruptive edge rusher Devin Colbert Sr, and a battle-tested roster determined to defend their crown under the leadership of Head Coach Kevin Cox.
On the opposite sideline, Head Coach Hershberger and the Bucks have spent an entire season chasing this moment. Now, they'll have the opportunity to dethrone the champions with the entire football world watching.
This isn't just another football game.
It's a battle for legacy.
A chance to etch your name into CMFL history forever.
And for the champion...
A ticket to the California Classic National Championship awaits.
