Another football cancellation due to COVID-19: One area team didn’t play Friday
In a 38-35 loss to Oakdale in Week 1, the Escalon High football team put up a great effort against an area power and had a boost of confidence heading into its Week 2 matchup on Friday at home against Amador (0-1).
Unfortunately for the Cougars, they didn’t play Friday after possible COVID-19 exposure within the team.
Escalon coach Andrew Beam said members of the team were quarantining but couldn’t comment further due to school administration protocol.
It was the second cancellation last week after Davis’s game at Lathrop was canceled due to a positive test within the Lathrop program. Davis instead played at James Logan in the Bay Area on Friday.
