Week 3: The Show Up and Streaks Get Real

Three weeks in and the Awesome League is starting to separate the fantasy faithful from the fantasy flailing! This week delivered some nail-biters, some blowouts, and one matchup that had us all on the edge of our seats. Let’s dive into the Week 3 action!

Match of the Week: vs.

Why did the Chicken cross the road? To get to the end zone, apparently—but LaLa’s were waiting on the other side with a roadblock! In the marquee matchup of the week, Brian Hunt’s put up a very respectable 122.64 points, the kind of score that wins most weeks. But Laura “LaLa” Hunt wasn’t having it, as her squad powered through with 130.52 points for the victory.

This was a battle between Hunts, and LaLa emerged with bragging rights. The Chicken may have crossed the road, but the crossed the finish line first. Better luck next week, Brian!

Around the League

Traven Takes the Top Spot — absolutely dominated this week, posting a league-high 157.04 points. Mayes Marshall’s I love sharks!!!22 put up a solid 110.34, but that wasn’t nearly enough to swim with this shark hunter.

The Mad Man Strikes Again — Maddix “Mad Man” Melker continues his Cinderella story, dropping 145.12 on KK’s Rhino’s Rockin’ Roster (102.74). The glass slipper still fits!

Snack Attack — Greylin “G” Hunt’s feasted on Best Awesome, winning 140.20 to 103.88. Brandon’s Zoolander-approved squad couldn’t find the “Blue Steel” this week.

MC Cruises — Merrick Marshall’s MC ALL DA WAY handled business against the Flying Squirrels, 110.06 to 72.84. Tina’s Squirrels couldn’t get airborne this week.
