Show THE GREEN SHEET 2 Thursday, January 30, 1986 Spoirtts Eagles Fly Past Farmers Bulldog Guards Key Win LAKE. Judge Memorial claimed a tightly officiated victory over Jordan here 2 to move to 1 in Region Six. The Beetdiggers fell to but Coach Jim Yerkovich suggested that Hal Hales club may still hold the key to who wins the region crown and he thinks the Diggers will be in the hunt for a state berth. Judge moves on to face a Murray team that wants the Bulldogs badly. Judge has won 13 of the last 14 meetings between the two teams, but Murrays offensive prowess has Yerkovich concerned, not to mention its size. On Tuesday the Bulldogs will host West and after those two contests, the picture should come more sharply into focus. Jordan will test league-leadin- g South tomorrow (Friday) at 3 p.m. on the Cub court and on Tuesday will host a Tooele squad that is also better than its 3 record, most coaches claim. Fouls and turnovers proved to be the enemy of the Beetdiggers down the stretch as they cut a big Judge lead to three points in the final minutes, but could not make further inroads. The key to the win for Judge was the third period - that and the play of the Bulldog backcourt of Rick Solvason and Cameron Kersey. The duo responded when the Diggers were able to control the Bulldog inside game. Jordan mugged the Dogs on the boards, but Judge was able to shoot 59 percent from the field to hold Jordan at bay. And Judge harrassed the 'Diggers into 22 turnovers, although Judge had 18 of its own. Taylorsville Creeps Past Granite, Buries Kearns SALT hard-fough- t, 67-6- 2-- 0-- TAYLORSVILLE. After struggling to a 2 win over Granite Friday night, the Taylorsville Warriors finally had some fun. They had it at the expense of a Kearns club that was flying high after finally beating one of the league leaders at home. The 2 Cougars stunned Cottonwood Friday night. But on Tuesday, the Cougars were ice cold from the field while the Warriors were honing in on 58 percent of their shots for a surprising 3 win. Taylorsville wont have much time to revel in the two wins. The Warriors must travel to Cyprus tomorrow (Friday) where the Bucs loss to are smarting from a Cottonwood. Then on Tuesday, its back on the road for a test of a struggling Granger squad. Kearns will wind up the first half of league play at home, this time against league-leadin- g Skyline, and then will stay home on Tuesday to test winless Granite. On Friday, Granite will travel to Olympus. Although frustrated with the loss at home to and the two Oly and Cyprus, Coach Kenyon Clark likes his 3 record. Coach Dan Leatherwood called Tuesdays win a must for his team. The game was sloppy, but close, for a half. Kearns jumped off to an early lead, but then the Cougars shots started taking some and the Warriors came back. Leatherwood credits some of that to a zone defense that the Warriors rarely play. I think we disrupted their rhythm, he stated. That may have been the case. At any rate, it was 12-- for the Cougars 50-4- Jft . 1 jf - ' 68-6- 60-4- after one period, but the Warriors assumed a edge at the half and then in the third period took com1 after plete control and led three. The Cougars failed to score in the first four minutes of the final period. Mike Johnson ended up as the game's leading scorer with 18 (5, 8x11), continuing his steady play. Todd Hailstone continued his improvement with 17 (8, 1x3). The Warriors enjoyed a big edge in rebounding with Ryan Browns nine leading a balanced effort. Mike Peterson paced the Cougars 25-2- 1 43-3- one-poi- 0-- 8 22-2- 1 35-3- 4 two-poi- REGION THREE STANDINGS 3-- REGION SIX STANDINGS continued. In the second, virtually every touch foul was called. And that eventually translated into the Warriors favor because Granite has a tendency to foul a great deal anyway. Neither team could really get in gear. The Warriors led 14-- 9 after one and that period, but it was only margin stayed the same in the third for period, which ended Taylorsville. When Gary Trost fouled out on a couple of calls that Farmer faithful felt were questionable, the Warriors were able to take command. Granite led by a point with three minutes left, but missed on a crucial one and one while with just 60 seconds left, the Warriors stretched a edge to four with a pair of free throws. Granite came back down and missed and the Warriors converted a three-poin- t play to avoid a loss that would have had serious consequences for their state hopes. Amir Rafati played a marvelous game with 22 points and held Hailstone to his lowest output of the season. Trost added nine. Johnson paced the Warriors with 16 abd Jason Almond scored 10. Skyline Cougar in double figures. Warriors 50, Granite 42 The officiating in Fridays contest was as different as night and day in the two halfs. In the first, bodies were flying through the air and play 64, Granite 43 According to Granite coach Charlie Whiting, the Farmers played their best basketball of the season for three quarters, but in the last period, they smoked us. The quarter-by-quartscores bear this out. Granite trailed 2 at the end of the first quarter and 4 at the end of the second. At one Continued on page 3 18-1- 30-2- .. WHIRLING DERVISH . . . Judge Memorials Rick Solvason scores on a drive over Jordan's Mike Vance (12). Solvason keyed Judge attack when inside game was shut down Friday. Jordan grabbed an early lead after a see-sabeginning, holding a after eight minutes of edge play and clinging to a 8 edge at halftime. But Kersey took command in the third period, scoring nine points and terrorizing the visitors on defense. When the buzzer sounded, Judge led and the Bulldogs opened that up to 12 before Mike Murry came off the Jordan bench and helped fire the Diggers within striking distance. Neither team was delighted with the officiating - both suffered through a technical foul call - but it seemed to hurt both teams equally, though the Bulldogs did win the battle from the line, hitting 19x31 while Jordan managed just 8x18. While Judge was making 59 percent of its shots, Jordan hit 49. Grant Jensen added 10 for Judge. Andrew Pine paced Jordan with 14 17-1- 5 29-2- 49-4- (6, 2x3) while Murry, Greg Gagon and John Jackson all scored nine. Kersey led all scorers with 16 on 7x11 from the field and 2x4 from the line. Solvason, who hit from long range, added 14 on 4x9 and 6x9. Spartans Cool At Line In West Loss SALT LAKE. Murrays game with West Friday was close in just about every statistical category except the score and even that left the Spartans within striking distance up until the final two minutes. but West ended up winning with two minutes left the Panthers held only a five-poimargin at The difference, according to 72-6- 55-5- 0. Murray coach Craig Hammer, was at the foul line. Both teams had about the same number of fouls called against them, Hammer reported, but they (West) went 22x30, while we were difference. 12x24, a The Spartans will be hoping for better luck from the line tomorrow (Friday) when they host Judge Memorial in what is expected to be a hotly contested affair that will break a logjam in second place in Region nt Six. Thursday, Friday and Saturday Murray and West were both 25x47 from the field and were also close in turnovers, rebounds and steals. But, as Hammer reminded, the only stat that really counts is tahe final score. Murray will try to get back into the winning form it displayed in its first two league clashes, when it hosts Judge Friday. On Tuesday, the Spartans will face league-leadin- g South, again at home. West held three-poimargins, 12-- 9 at the end of the first two and periods. That gap doubled to six, in the third quarter but the Spartans were still in the hunt. It was in the final moments that West was able to pull away, salting the game away with hot foul shooting down the stretch. Top scoring honors for Murray were shared by Tim Blackham and Mike Gill, who ended up with 16 points. Steve Backus added 10 points, while John Hunt, hobbled by the flu, came up with nine. I think West got us to play their type of game, recalled Hammer. West tried to slow it up, pass the ball around and work for a good shot, while were more of an early offense type of team. We learned a lesson from this game, at least I hope so. 27-2- 43-3- 1986 Accord LXi Hatchback $350 down $26036 mo. 1986 Civic CRX Automatic Trans. s250 DOWN $17812 MO. 1986 Honda 4x4 Station Wagon merchandise ALL DEPARTMENTS THANK YOU We would like to thank you for participating in our voluntary pay program.
