Escanaba Kids Play Dodgeball To Help Japan
The Escanaba High School Gym was busy Monday night as a couple hundred kids got together for a double-elimination dodgeball tournament. The gym was divided in half by an orange curtain, and spectators filled the first few rows of the bleachers as the kids threw small balls at each other.
