The finish is important because the top two teams qualify for the state tournament. One third place team from the 3A regions competing in soccer will advance under a formula put together by the High School Activities Assn., Forrest said. Both Judge and Murray would have a good chance of qualifying as that top third place team, he said. Judge beat Murray the first time around, but Forrest made some defensive changes which took the spark out of the Bulldog attack. He assigned double coverage to Judges Don Dunbar, a speedy trackman who had two goals and an assist in the first encounter. Louie Rasmussen and Decker kept him away from the ball Tuesday. With that, the Bulldog offense was limited to one goal - a penalty kick -early in the second half. Murray drew first blood about 20 minutes into the game when striker David Dibble fired a pass from the right wing into the center to Andersen. He took the ball about 15 yards in front of the net and fired it into the top left corner to make it 0 for Murray. Thats how it stood until the early portion of the second half when Judge tied the score on the penalty kick after a Spartan fullback touched the ball with his hands. Midway through the period, however, Murray struck back with the decisive goal. The Spartans packed the pocket in front of the goal to receive a corner kick from Dibble. His boot was batted about in front of the net before Dave Decker, a middle fullback who moved up for the crucial play, sent the ball into the net. tag 3-- 2 to score a pair of runs. brightly for next season. The Warriors split a pair of contests, losing a 3 decision to Bingham last Wednesday and nipping West Jordan 2 Friday. The Warriors would have to win three of their next four games to have a realistic shot at the playoffs -including a pair against Hillcrest. The status of playing Hillcrest depends on locating a dry field and a time when neither team is booked. The Warriors are slated to meet Kearns tomorrow (Friday) and Alta on Monday. In the third inning, Phil Evans singled and was able to score when his brothers base hit got past the leftfielder. That was all the scoring for the Warriors. Walker sailed along until the fifth when a pair of errors, a walk and a single brought it to 2 and Coach Ron Rushton tabbed Orwin from the Warrior bench. He recorded a strikeout for the final out of the inning and handcuffed the Jaguars the rest of the way. Taylorsville was able to manage just five hits off Craig Lemments. Walker allowed only two. Both Warrior hurlers had five strikeouts. 6-- 3-- Players Being Sought For Baseball League MURRAY. Teams and players are being sought by the Valley Amateur Baseball League.
