In the Suburban One League’s opening night, Plymouth Whitemarsh (4-0) entered Alumni field and dominated Quakertown (0-4) in a 44-8 victory. Michael Giangiulio, a senior captain for the PW Colonials, had three touchdowns on the night, including a defensive scoop-and-score. Giangiulio’s 3 touchdown game saw him leave with over 400 rushing yards on the season, along with 9 touchdowns. Behind Giangiulio’s heroics, the Colonials proved why they are a District 1 contender, scoring 35 points before halftime and benching their starters.
To start the game, Michael Giangiulio got the ball on the second play of the game, scoring a 75-yard touchdown.
