There were roughly 15 teams participating in Saturday’s annual Escalon Mel Focha JV Tournament, an event that also saw competition for the Escalon girls in the now-dual tourney. The tournament was also moved up a few weeks due to conflicts in January, and head coach Derek Scott said he wasn’t sure exactly how it would be received in the new, earlier date, but he was pleased with the turnout. “We lost three or four teams, due to the change in date,” said Scott.
