They made the most of what turned out to be the final game of the season. Escalon’s varsity football Cougars – for the first time in years – did not get a spot in the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs, but they put an exclamation point on their season with a resounding 38-14 win at Engel Field against Modesto Christian on Friday night. Knowing they would be ‘on the bubble’ with a win and a 5-5 overall record, head coach Mark Loureiro said the team came out and played with drive, determination and heart, leaving it all on the field.
