Eskymo Tennis Team Battles Wind; Sweep Maroons
 ESCANABA---The Escanaba High School tennis team picked up its first win of the 2012 season on Thursday, turning back the Menominee Maroons, 8-0. The win came under sunny conditions, but there was a cold, gusty wind that made it very difficult to return the ball...or to serve...effectively. 
David Fix jumps up to get a return.
The Eskymos won six of the eight flights in straight sets.
"Tyler Myrick continues to impress me with his ability to persevere in tough situations. And the teams of Brant/Myrick and Wood/Prica came through today in three set matches," Hansen said. "On a day like today it's easy to get distracted by cold, wind, slower play. I thought our guys did a good job of playing disciplined and aggressive."
The Eskymos are off until Monday when they travel to Gladstone. Pictured above: Eskymo junior Jake Eastin lunges after a ball during Thursday's match. Click the ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS thumbnails to see more photos from the match. The results: Singles
