Palisadian-Post Sports Editor Steve Galluzzo was honored before the start of the Palisades Charter High School annual Charter Bowl game against Granada Hills at Santa Monica College on Friday evening, September 5, for going “above and beyond covering Pali High sports and the Pali community in general.”
“He really makes the athletes feel special, and I’m grateful for his kindness and friendship, so I’m really happy we can honor him,” Lorenz Evans, who delivered the recognition, said.
Galluzzo started as sports editor of the Post in May 1998 when the office was located on Via De La Paz, taking over for Chris Reed, a fellow journalism major Galluzzo worked with for the Sundial, the student newspaper at California State University, Northridge.
Galluzzo, who had “no idea” the recognition was coming—“no one told me beforehand,” he said—was honored alongside James Riley, known as “Facebook James” because he broadcasts the games live on Facebook and hosts a show on YouTube during the season called “This Week in Pali Football.”
Riley and Galluzzo received footballs signs by all the team players: “I will cherish it,” Galluzzo said.
