In a game pitting the 6-1 Ripon JV Indians against the host 7-0 Escalon JV Cougars, it really was no contest. Escalon prevailed in a thorough 41-7 thrashing of the visitors on Friday night, keeping their unbeaten season alive and zeroing in on at least a share of the Trans-Valley League title. “I didn’t even have to try and motivate the kids during the week,” said head coach Andrew Beam.
