Ending the season at 8-2, the Escalon JV Cougars fell just short of the Trans-Valley League title, but closed out the campaign with a satisfying defeat of Hughson in action at Engel Field on Friday night. The Nov. 3 contest saw Escalon take a 44-21 win off the field and the JV football boys rolled up nearly 500 yards of offense on the night. “We got started early, our defense got a stop and Kaidence Trejo got our first touchdown, from two yards out, Bryan Hale went in for the 2-point conversion,” explained head coach Andrew Beam.
