Eskymos Roll Past Kingsford; Keep Pace In G.N.C.
 ESCANABA---The Escanaba Eskymos kept pace with the Marquette Redmen in the Great Northern Conference race by beating the Kingsford Flivvers, 60-40, Friday night in Escanaba. Brandon Robinette scored 15 points and Sam Molnar added 13 in the win. Escanaba led from start to finish. The Eskymos led, 14-8, after the first quarter, and 28-17 at halftime as the three-point shooting was "on" from the opening tip-off. In the end, Escanaba made eight three-pointers, scored by five different players.

Escanaba will travel to Marquette next Friday to try to avenge a 47-33 December 17th loss to the Redmen. Marquette beat Menominee, 65-40, on Friday. Escanaba will first host Iron Mountain in a non-conference game Tuesday night. Kingsford fell to 1-10 overall, 0-4 in the GNC.
