A fun, festive atmosphere, a trio of exciting basketball games, and new royalty added up to a Homecoming evening to remember at Escalon High School on Friday night, Jan. 30. With an overall theme of Cirque Du Escalon, the high school grade levels each adopted a different theme for the ‘float’ parade in between the JV and varsity basketball games in the gym and a new Homecoming King was crowned during halftime of the varsity contest. The evening featured a thrilling, buzzer-beating winning shot for the Escalon JV boys, while the freshman and varsity teams took single digit losses. (See stories, photos in Sports, Pages A12-A13.) Senior Caleb Mullen received the crown as Homecoming King and obliged the chants from the crowd to ‘Kiss the Queen’ – none other than Homecoming Queen Julie Victorino, who was crowned during the football season.
