It’s starting to look a little bit more like a football field; crews moved in to Engel Field at Memorial Stadium on the Escalon High School campus this past week to begin putting in the sod that will form the base for the field. Improvement work is also continuing around the perimeter. The large rolls of sod are placed on the field, rolled out and then tightened into place. Also, some grading is being done and EHS 2005 grad Michael Correia was at the controls of one of the machines during the recent workday. It will take several weeks for the sod to be ready before the field can be used; officials are still hopeful the Cougars can have a true home game during the upcoming fall football season.
