Justin Ivey, NLL Correspondent Lacrosse is Awesome© Standings: Shawn Palmer 45-24 Stephonya Hunter-Penner 43-26 Justin Ivey 42-27 I made a HUGE mistake. Shawn DID NOT go 5-0 in Week 13, Stephonya did. Lucky for Shawn, he is still in first place. Standings have been updated and there were no changes after Week 14, although as a group none of us did so hot. I had the best predictions and went…

Justin Ivey, NLL Correspondent Lacrosse is Awesome© Standings: Shawn Palmer 42-19 Stephonya Hunter-Penner 38-23 Justin Ivey 37-24 Shawn went 5-0 last week – please everyone pay attention to this man’s picks. I fell to last but somehow still am tasked with doing the write ups! Stephonya only called one game wrong. If it wasn’t for the will of Dane Dobbie, I might be a bit better. This week has all…

Justin Ivey, NLL Correspondent Lacrosse is Awesome© Standings: Justin Ivey 32-18 Shawn Palmer 34-16 Stephonya Hunter-Penner 30-20 Chris Vale 28-22 I got brought to school last week. Shawn has taken the group lead and along with him, Stephonya and Chris all went 5-0. My 2-3 needs some work. This week is the week for retribution. With six games on the schedule, including two Alterna Cup games, it is gearing up…

Justin Ivey, NLL Correspondent Lacrosse is Awesome© Standings: Shawn Palmer 13-7 Justin Ivey 12-8 Stephonya Hunter-Penner 12-8 Chris Vale 11-9 Week 5 was full of surprises. Stephonya went an amazing 4-2 in a week full of “upsets”. I put the upsets in quotes because well, the season is young. Chemistry is a big part of the NLL and that will grow throughout the season. Colorado willed their way to an…
