Palango tied the Redeemer Royals program record for rebounds in a single game on Nov. 8. The fifth-year forward grabbed 20 boards, including 15 off of the defensive glass, as the Royals defeated the St. Clair Saints at home 65-61 for their first win of the season. Palango also scored a dozen points for a double-double, while adding six assists. The 20 rebounds were well above Palango's average of 8.6 per game. Palango and the Royals will look to win two in a row when they visit the always tough Humber Hawks on Wednesday.
