Rotary All Stars

Brothers Bo and Blue Capps, recent graduates of Escalon High and standout players on the gridiron, were both selected to play in the 32nd annual Bob Green North/South Rotary All-Star Football Game.

Blue Capps also was involved in this past weekend’s 44th annual Central California Lions Club All-Star Football Game in Tracy. The South defeated the North by a 30-17 final and Escalon head coach Mark Loureiro said Blue went out late in the game with shoulder pain and will not suit up for the Merced game, though brother Bo is expected to play. He will be on the North squad with players from other Sac-Joaquin Section schools, while the South squad will be made up of Central Section schools. The game will be played at Veterans Stadium in Merced with kickoff at 7:30 p.m. For ticket information, log onto www.rotaryfootball.org.
