I understand that next Monday is a critical week for seeding. Just want to give everyone a heads up that next Tuesday Dickie Dunn will start taking nominations for the Annual Dickie Awards. Start thinking of nominees. These are regular season awards given to MNL’s finest. There will be a several new categories including a playoff MVP which will be named the ‘Coan Smyth Award’ which will be a separate poll after the Keg has been awarded. Other new categories for 2024 will be…
