With a loud crowd urging them on, the varsity soccer Cougars put away Hilmar 3-1 on Thursday to clinch the Trans-Valley League championship. It was Escalon’s second win of the week and left them in sole possession of first place in the TVL with a final 9-1 record. The win over Hilmar also avenged an earlier season loss on the road to the Yellowjackets, the only blemish on their league mark.
