Show WEST VALLEY VIEW 3 Thursday, Sept. 23, 1982 i Defensive Units Shine In Thriller - Trick Play Is Among Keys To Judge's Win Over Murray SALT LAKE. Judge Memorial was forced to reach into its bag of tricks Friday night to turn back a stubborn Murray squad 13-It was the league-launchfor both teams the 27th straight league win for the Bulldogs and 14th victory in a row for the well over er - defending state 3A champs. Good field position and a perfectly executed trick play turned the tide in the Bulldogs favor as both teams proved to have exceptional defensive units. Action in Region Six continues tomorrow (Friday), with Judge remaining at home to host a large but very young Tooele squad in a Homecoming celebration at 7:30 p.m. Murray takes its act to Jordan where a good defensive effort will be most important if the Spartans are to square their record at To do so, they must stop Darrell VanAmen, who squirts out of the Beetdigger veer offense almost at will, averaging Johnny-on-the-sp- ot Rod-ma- 1. Both Routed Friday The Spartans were on the move when Scott Oppocher latched on to a fumble early in the second period. A penalty set Judge back and the Spartans got another break when Mike Simpson picked off a pass. However, the good field position evaporated on a clipping call and Paul Barbiero returned the interception favor at the 32. Unable to move the ball, Judge punted and Murray began a drive at its own 32, the only time the Spartans really had reasonable field position all night long. Beck hooked up twice with Blake Soffe for first downs through the air and connected twice with John Madsen before Spence McDonald broke through the line for 20 yards and first and goal at the eight. Moments later Madsen was in the left corner of the end zone and cut back toward the center to gather in a Beck pass for the 100 yards per game rushing. Judge hopes to find a consistent offense in its outing against Tooele, with West looming on the horizon, while Murray coaches have to be pleased with the efforts of quarterback Rob Beck in Fridays losing cause. As usual, for the Bulldogs was Shawn who scored one Bulldog touchdown and set up the other with a long pass completion from his halfback slot. Rodman, who is a punishing runner as well as a speedster, escaped from his backfield in the first period after he had returned a punt to the Spartan 44. The ball was resting on the 25 when he spun off a tackle and skipped around left end to paydirt. His PAT attempt sailed wide of the goal and Judge was left clinging to a lead against Murrays air attack. n, 6-- 0 The Spartans were a conversion away from taking the lead, but Joe Quinn got a hand on the kick and the teams had to settle deadlock at the half when for a neither could move the ball in the final 5: 49. The third quarter was more of the same - until Rodman stepped back and fired a pass down field to Chris Green for a gain. The Spartan coaches saw it coming, but it was too late. From the 35, Rodman ran to the 19, John McCormick to the eight and then to the one from where Kenny Kreautler took the ball over on a sneak up the middle with 38 seconds left in the third period. 6-- 6 -- The Bulldogs lined up to go for two, but a penalty forced them into a kicking situation and Rod-mawho has been operating on a sore leg that affects his kicking more than his running, placed a - Cougars To Meet Warriors Tomorrow Its hard discern anything positive from a football loss, but there were some hopeful KEARNS. 55-1- 4 signs Friday for Kearns high.

The Lancers were blitzed by Olympus in their league opener Friday, while the Pirates were avenging a loss they shouldnt have suffered enroute to a fine season capped by a state semi-finappearance last year. It will be the final home game of the season for Coach Bill Hunter and his young team, who feel it is a must-wisituation because of the road slate that will close out league play. Kickoff is scheduled at 7 p.m., a half hour earlier than normal. In Fridays outing, Skyline al n three-gam- e scored first, closing out the first pass play and period with a conversion that left the Bucs down 7-- 0. Rich Hardman hooked up with senior Greg (Pete) Peterson for a pass completion of 35 yards to set up the first Pirate score, a three-yarburst up the middle by Chad Fuller. Exchange student Kenny Turedsson knotted the score with a successful kick and it remainded knotted at the half. The third period was a wild one, with both teams moving the ball, but neither able to put it in the end d zone. The Pirates put the winning drive together midway through the fourth period on some solid running by Hardman and another long completion to Peterson. On a third and six play at the 20, Hardman faded back and found Greg (Repeat) Peterson, a junior with the same name as his senior teammate, in the end zone. Turedssons kick made it and all Cyprus had to do was hold off the surging Eagles. They did that when Dave Inskeep recovered his third fumble late in the game. 14-- 7 juniors. and that seemed to take the starch out of the Cougars. Handley found Long 10 For nearly two periods, Kearns was holding its own, on a completion to the two and the Hawk The only bright spot for the Cougars in that stretch was Chad Pickett's blocking of a Garner PAT attempt. Handley continued his mastery in the second half and the game stayed a rout, but Takeno said the fact that his team did not quit was indeed a quarterback, who would have his hand in six touchdowns by games end, took the ball in on a sneak. That made it 14-- 0 with 1:53 left in the half. There is still hope, right? Well, there was until 0-- -- hopeful sign. They know the worst is behind them.
