 ESCANABA---The Escanaba Eskymos spread the wealth Friday night as they picked up their biggest win of the season. Four players scored in double figures and the Eskymos broke a halftime tie to beat the Kingsford Flivvers, 60-47, at the Eskymo Gym.  The first half was a game of runs. The Eskymos led, 8-4, as VanEffen scored six points. But the Flivvers scored the final seven points of the first quarter to take an 11-8 lead. The Flivvers built their biggest lead of the game just before halftime at 26-18, but Robinette hit back-to-back three-pointers to lead the Eskymos into a 26-26 halftime tie. Escanaba took over after the break, employing a tough defense that limited the Flivvers to just seven points in the third quarter. The Eskymos scored 16 in that quarter, and then scored six of the first eight points in the fourth quarter to stretch their lead to 48-35. Kingsford never got closer than nine the rest of the way. The Flivvers were led by Chris Roell's 14 points. Nick Smith added 13, with eleven of those points coming in the first half.
