An up and down season came to an equally up and down end for Escalon’s varsity football Cougars on Friday night, winning their league finale against Modesto Christian 38-14 but failing to make the postseason. A total of 78 teams will suit up for playoffs, with Escalon one spot short of breaking into that list. “We didn’t get to the six wins you need to guarantee a spot, and though they did take a couple of 5-5 teams; that was based on the opponent win totals,” head coach Mark Loureiro said of the Cougars just missing out on a Sac-Joaquin Section playoff appearance.
