Escalon’s varsity volleyball girls will have a home game on Tuesday, Nov. 10 as part of the NorCal State Tournament.

After bowing out of the Section competition, losing in the Division 4 semifinals, the girls knew they would still get a berth in the NorCals, having won two playoff rounds at the Section level.

“Escalon will be hosting Quincy,” Athletic Director Andrew Beam said on Monday. “The game is going to start at 5 p.m.; Quincy has a four-hour drive each way so they asked to start at 5 instead of 6 and we accommodated them; it’s the right thing to do.”

Tickets are available through GoFan only for the game on Nov. 10. The Quincy Trojans got the number 15 seed in the tournament, necessitating the trip to Escalon.

“Quincy went 37-3 (overall) and they were undefeated league champions in the Mid Valley League, which is a collection of very small schools,” added Beam. “They lost to Durham their last game, in their Section final.”

Escalon earned the number two seed in the bracket for the Division 4 NorCals; fellow Trans-Valley League team Ripon Christian is in the number six seed position. Hughson and Ripon were moved into D3 for the NorCals. Hughson defeated Placer on Nov. 7 to claim its second consecutive D4 CIF Section title while Ripon lost a 3-2 heartbreaker to Nevada Union after taking a 2-0 lead in the D3 title game on Saturday.

“A win Tuesday and we would host a game again on Thursday,” Beam said, which would see Escalon taking on the winner of the first round seven seed University Prep-10 seed Bear River match up.

Escalon enters the Tuesday contest with a 22-11 overall record and went 6-6 for third place in the TVL. They are ranked at number 212 in California; Qunicy comes in ranked at number 214 in the state.
