The Escalon High freshman football team purred to a 24-14 victory over visiting Hughson on Thursday night to snap a short, two game losing skid. The young Cougars played good, solid football in all aspects of the game. With the exception of two broken plays that went for touchdowns, the defense forced Hughson’s offense to go backward most of the night while recovering a fumble and forcing three interceptions.
