Members of the Escalon Youth Cougars, EYC, football teams spent some time recently filling sandbags to be available for residents in preparation for the projected wet winter weather ahead. Escalon Public Works employee Zach Morgan is a coach with the organization and had some players doing the community service work, helping make the sandbags, with several hundred filled so they are ready for residents to pick up for free if they want to get a supply prior to the arrival of the El Nino pattern.
