Leading 3-0 at the half, Escalon continued to pummel the Hughson goal on Thursday, ending up with an 8-0 victory in Trans-Valley League soccer action. It was a young Huskies team that came in – as Hughson doesn’t have a JV squad – so the varsity is a mix of grade levels and the more experienced Cougars were able to easily handle the visitors. “They’re very young, for sure,” agreed Escalon coach Paul Silva of Hughson, adding that his Cougars also played very well, earning every one of the eight goals they scored.
