Palatian has an opportunity Friday night to turn his production into a bigger statement when he faces an undefeated Douglas County team. Through the season, Palatian has carried the ball 27 times for 246 yards and five touchdowns, showing impressive efficiency as a runner. He has the explosiveness to create big plays and has consistently demonstrated a knack for finding the endzone when given opportunities. Facing an undefeated opponent provides a chance for Palatian to show how he can dominate against a strong opponent and be a workhorse given the chance. If he can establish the run and creates explosive plays, he could play a major role in giving his team an edge.
