Eskomos Fall to Bombers

Section Final Rematch Goes to Road Team

The Esko boys basketball team couldn’t recover from a slow start, Friday.

The Barnum Bombers led 14-10 at the half, and extended the lead with rebounding and clutch shooting in the second half.

With 7 minutes left in the game, Esko senior Jaxson Turner tried to spark his team with a thunderous jam on the baseline, that put them within 3 at 26-23.

The Bombers immediately slammed the door, though.

Following Turner’s dunk, Mason Agurkis and Reece Parks hit back-to-back three pointers, stretching  lead back to 9.

The Eskomos could not recover after that, as the teams traded baskets for a 45-36 final.
