Palazzi, local players looking to go Stagg

To date, the biggest game Rich Palazzi has played in came in the season finale of his senior year at Wallenpaupack.

"We played Scranton High School and we lost by one point in overtime," Palazzi said in a telephone interview. "If we would have won that game, we would have ended up 5-5 and it would have been our first nonlosing season since I think 2000."
