Palazzo is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Calvert Hall on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Palazzo saw the Cardinals), he threw for 223 yards and four touchdowns.

Brandon Finney Makes It Two for Mcdonogh
Another McDonogh player making an appearance on this list is Brandon Finney. He made a tackle.
Gamescore: 24.50
Gilman had to settle for second on Saturday, but Isaiah Trusty sure wasn't going down easily. Trusty was dynamite, punching in a rushing score.
This is the second loss in a row for Gilman and nudges their season record down to 4-3. Trusty and Gilman will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Concordia Prep at 12:00 p.m. on October 19th.
