Saturdays are pretty busy in Escalon, what with all the dribbling, passing and shooting going on. An estimated 165 youngsters, from ages seven to 14, boys and girls, are learning the skills required to play basketball, as the Escalon High School basketball programs have taken over running the Cub Basketball program. “It is going really well,” said EHS varsity boys basketball head coach Martin Louro of the youth sports effort.
