Sunny skies, a light breeze, a huge crowd … the stage was set for Escalon’s 2016 Homecoming celebration on Friday, Sept. 23 and by the end of the festivities, senior Lexington ‘Lexi’ Wheeler was the new Homecoming Queen and the varsity football team took a hard-fought loss to rival Patterson. The Friday afternoon parade through downtown, followed by the JV and varsity football games and the crowning of the queen, capped a busy week of activities at the school and in the community. Wheeler was honored as the Homecoming Queen, toping fellow contestants Brooklyn Berry, Kaylee Biedermann, Briana Brasil and Daisy Pantoja for the crown.
