Snacks, Squirrels, and a Season Taking Shape

Week 7 is in the books, and the Awesome League delivered drama from top to bottom! From a seven-point thriller at the top of the card to a squirrel squad making serious noise in the standings, there was something for everyone to cheer about this week. Grab a snack — you’ve earned it.

Game of the Week

OG Snacker 126, Rhino the Gyn-o 119

What a nail-biter! G’s OG Snacker squad held off Kelsey Marshall’s Rhino the Gyn-o in a thriller that had everyone on the edge of their seats. With just seven points separating these two powerhouses, every play mattered.

Tee Higgins was the hero for OG Snacker, lighting up the scoreboard with 27 points to lead all starters in this matchup. He had plenty of help, too—CeeDee Lamb chipped in 24, and Quinshon Judkins added 23 to keep the snacks flowing all week long.

Rhino the Gyn-o didn’t go down without a fight. Joe Burrow put up a spectacular 29 points in a valiant effort, but it wasn’t quite enough to overcome OG Snacker’s balanced attack. Jonathan Taylor (19) and Bijan Robinson (17) did their best to keep things close, making this one a real barn-burner.

In the end, OG Snacker’s depth made the difference, proving that sometimes the best recipe for victory is having multiple ingredients working together. What a game!
