It was Senior Night on Monday, Feb. 12 for the varsity soccer Cougars and though they took the field for the final time in a regular season game, the outcome wasn’t what they were looking for. Hilmar came in and stung the Cougars in a 1-0 contest, handing Escalon just its second league loss of the campaign. “It was a little bit anticlimactic,” admitted head coach Paul Silva, as the Cougars had captured the Trans-Valley League title the previous week and may have had a little bit of a letdown in the game against the Yellowjackets.
