Rain, rain, go away...
Short report today due to the Saturday rainout. The games that were scheduled to be played on 5/10 will now be played on 5/17. This is an important week, with playoff seedings on the line. Will the weeklong layoff help or hurt? Which teams have been active in the interim? Hot wings or barbecue wings? These questions will all be answered in due time. In the meantime, let's get to our...
Games of the Week Results
8 on 8 Indoor
Cowboys vs. Flossin' - Cowboys win this one 12 - 6, but Flossin' gave them a run for their money. Both teams need wins this week to
help secure a spot in the playoffs.
8 on 8 Outdoor
Postponed - rain - Check back next week.
Standings
8 on 8 indoor
We're past the halfway point of the 8 on 8 indoor season, and the dominant teams are starting to emerge. The next two weeks will have a
HUGE bearing on the standings, as you'll see in my picks for Games of the Week. Anyway, on with the standings. The 5 Stars (4-0) survived a scare
from the Lobos (1-3) to remain undefeated and in first place. The Tri-State Falcons (3-1) made short work of the Titans to stay in second place. The
Cowboys (2-2) pulled out a win to take over third place from Flossin' (2-2). The Lobos (1-3) and Titans (0-4) stay in fifth and sixth place, respecitvely.
CXFFL 4 on 4
No 4 on 4 updates this week - Sorry!
Games of the Week
8 on 8 Outdoor - Carried over from last week
Rapid Fire vs. Run 'n Gun - 11:00 AM - North Conference Championship -There's a chance for
either of these teams to take the North Conference championship. With a #1 seed and a first-round bye in the playoffs
on the line, look for a very intense battle between these two teams. Who wants it more? We're about to find out.
Cowboys vs. Team Cincinnati / Vikings - 10:00 AM - Fight for second place in the South Conference. Both of
these teams are athletic and hard-hitting, and I'm sure they'll both leave it all out on the field.
8 on 8 Indoor
5 Stars vs. Tri-State Falcons - 9:00 PM - The two most dominant teams in the league meet in the first of two consecutive contests. The
winner here should be viewed as the favorite to win the league championship.

Alright, sorry for the crappy, late, short report this week. Hopefully things will run a little more smoothly this week and I'll have more to report on.
NO MORE RAIN! Until next time, keep your flags on!
