Zack Pianalto Gains National Exposure On Gridiron

Posted Oct 16, 2007

Former Springdale High tight end Zack Pianalto no longer is in the lost-but-not-yet-found department. Saturday, he was spotted on national television again. There he was, wearing a power-blue North Carolina jersey with No. 17 assigned to it, catching a five-yard pass in living color against then-No. 7 South Carolina on network TV. Springdale citizens should puff out their chests with maximum pride in knowing one of its native sons has done so, so well. (Northwest Arkansas Morning News)
