It was another up and down week for Escalon’s varsity basketball boys, as they won at home but lost on the road. They ended the week with a 3-2 league mark, still in the thick of things but needing to find more consistency on the court. “Every night will be a grind,” head coach Martin Louro said of battling it out against other Trans-Valley League teams, noting the parity of squads up and down the schedule.
