Exactly what head coach Mark Loureiro didn’t want to happen happened on Friday night, and the varsity football Cougars came out on the wrong end of a 47-34 final score against the visiting Patterson Tigers. With a total of 12 touchdowns scored in the game, Escalon just made a few more costly mistakes and had a hard time trying to shut down the explosive Patterson offense. “The two styles don’t match up well early in the year,” Loureiro said of the finesse and speed of the Tigers against the grit of the workmanlike Cougars.
