Barnum at Esko
7:15 p.m., Friday, Dec. 18

Since Barnum's move to Class 2A, Section 7, the Bombers have learned the road to the state tournament goes through Esko.

Despite the Bombers' 54-5 record the past two seasons, they have lost to the Eskomos in the postseason both years.

In fact, Esko also has won seven of the past eight meetings. The lone loss came in Polar Conference play last year, as Barnum recorded a 62-48 defeat en route to a 13-0 league mark that clinched the conference title.

The No. 7-2A Eskomos feature 7-foot 2 sophomore Adam Trapp, who is being recruited by several Division I schools.
