OVERTIME 7v7 DALLAS - What Happened At Week 3?
Photographed by: Marco Fraza
DALLAS, TX - The forecast said rain. OT7 said run it anyway. Week 3 came to Dallas with wet turf, gray skies, and an atmosphere that somehow made everything hit harder. The energy was different. The competition was different. And the teams that showed up ready to handle the conditions were the ones that walked away with something to talk about. Week 3 was exactly what Overtime’s 7v7 football Season 5 needed - and Dallas delivered once again.
CALI POWER IS BACK - AND THEY CAME TO REMIND EVERYBODY
Cali Power had the week off in Week 2. They watched. They waited. And on Saturday they came out and made a statement immediately - a 42-38 win over Wunna Warriors that set the tone for their entire weekend. That is not a team that needed rest. That is a team that needed a target. Cali Power then followed it up with a 35-24 win over Midwest Boom to prove that the Week 2 bye was not a vacation - it was preparation. The West Coast is in the building and they are not here to lose.
TRILLION BOYS - THE TEAM NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT ENOUGH
Let's talk about Trillion Boys right now because they deserve it. They went on an absolute tear this weekend - a 38-45 loss to Level82 early on Saturday was the only blemish on what was otherwise a dominant performance across both days. They bounced back with a 45-31 win over Hellstar, handled Level82 the second time around, and closed out Sunday with a 38-31 win over Five Stars. Trillion Boys is quietly one of the most dangerous teams in OT7 Season 5 and if you are not paying attention to them yet, you are already behind.
COLD HEARTS ARRIVED AND MADE NOISE IMMEDIATELY
Cold Hearts stepped onto the OT7 stage in Week 3 and wasted absolutely no time making an impression. A 41-24 statement win over Team Uno on Saturday. A 31-0 shutout of Midwest Boom - a SHUTOUT - that was the most dominant single-game performance of the entire weekend. They followed that up by handling Pink Outlaws 28-0 on Saturday before going into Sunday and continuing to compete. Cold Hearts came in with something to prove and left with everybody's attention. Zero points allowed in two games on Saturday. That is not a coincidence - that is a defense playing at a completely different level.
WUNNA WARRIORS - BUILDING ON THE DEBUT
The Wunna Warriors came into Week 3 riding the momentum of their Sunday performance in Week 2, and they kept it going. A 38-24 win over Level82 on Saturday showed everyone that the confidence from those Week 2 wins was not a fluke. They went back and forth throughout the weekend - competitive in every game they played - and continued to show that this team's ceiling is nowhere near where they are right now. Gunna's squad is growing week by week and the rest of OT7 is noticing.
THE STANDOUT PERFORMANCES OF WEEK 3
Cold Hearts shutting out two separate opponents on the same day. Trillion Boys rattling off win after win in hostile, wet conditions. Cali Power coming out of their bye week and immediately reminding the field why they made the trip from the West Coast. These are the performances that are going to define the second half of OT7 Season 5.
BIGGEST NAIL-BITERS OF THE WEEKEND
Five Stars 31 - Cali Power 24
Wunna Warriors 31 - Midwest Boom 24
Pink Outlaws 39 - Team Uno 38
Cold Hearts 38 - Team Uno 38
Trillion Boys 38 - Five Stars 31
Hellstar 24 - Cali Power 21
WHAT WEEK 3 TOLD US
Cold Hearts is for real. Trillion Boys is for real. Cali Power showed up ready. And the Wunna Warriors are not going away. The rain made the conditions tough - but the teams that are built for OT7 don't need perfect weather to put on a show. They showed up, they competed, and they gave Dallas exactly what it came to see.
Week 4 cannot get here fast enough. The competition is getting tighter. The stakes are getting higher. And OT7 Season 5 is officially heating up.
