LaFave Scores 30; Eskymos Overwhlem Emeralds

ESCANABA---The Escanaba High School girls basketball team is starting to get used to this "winning thing". After dropping their first five games of the season, the girls picked up their first win of the season Saturday afternoon in Marinette.

The Eskymos followed that win Monday night with their first home victory, 69-38, over the Manistique Emeralds. The Eskymos led by 12 at halftime and pulled away from there.

Michelle LaFave was dominant inside, even when her outside shots weren't falling. She scored 19 of her team's 34 points in the first half, and then added eleven more points in the second half to finish with a game-high 30 points.

Callie Heller added ten points for Escanaba.

LaFave had scored 17 points to lead the Eskymos (2-5) to their first win of the season on Saturday, 42-16, over the Marinette Marines.

In Monday's game, Manistique was led by Michaela Hinkson's ten points. Allie Nagy added nine for the Emeralds (1-6), who got their first win Saturday over Big Bay deNoc.

Escanaba returns to action this Friday with a rivalry game in Gladstone. It will be broadcast live on WGKL-FM (105.5), WCHT-AM (600), and www.rrnsports.com.

Manistique's next game is also this Friday night, in Negaunee. That game will be broadcast live on WTIQ-AM (1490), and at www.wtiqradio.com.
