Setting the tone early, Escalon capped a 10-play, 75-yard drive with a 9-yard touchdown run from Hunter Calton to start Friday night’s first round Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV playoff game. They never looked back, taking a decisive 48-20 win at Engel Field against the visiting Center Cougars out of Sacramento. “We set the tempo of the game,” Escalon head coach Mark Loureiro said, taking the opening kickoff from Center and using up more than four minutes to get the score.
