Show THE GREEN SHEET 3 Thursday, February 20, 1986 Spoirtto As Bulldogs Gain New Life Colts Hold Off Farmers - Spartans Split, But Stay In Title Chase SALT LAKE. With their backs against the wall after losing to Jordan Friday night, Judge Memorials 1 Bulldogs shocked Murray Tuesday to stay in the hunt for a state tourney berth. The Spartans, who outlasted West Friday, might have seen their hopes for the region title die on the vine, but got a break when South fell 78-7- not do as well at the line, hitting just Murray, still striving for the league title, winds up the regular season Thursday at 3:30 p.m. at South. at Jordan. That was a costly situation for Judge, however, because that left the Beetdiggers and Bulldogs still tied for the fourth and final state spot. So Judge will go to West with its back still against the wall tomorrow (Friday) while Jordan travels to Tooele to take on the hapless Buffs. Murray in the meantime still controls its own destiny. The Spartans are slated to meet South in a 3:30 contest on the Cub court. The winner will get at least a share of the region crown and if Judge beats West, the y winner will win it outright. If Judge and Jordan tie, a playoff will likely be played Monday, with the region tournament scheduled to begin on Wednesday at a still undetermined site. That will seed the teams for state. Jordan 56, Judge 64-5- 6 That run came when Judges Grant Jensen was forced to sit down with foul trouble. In the third quarter, defensive pressure by Jordan netted a few key turnovers and helped the Sandy crew get some momentum. By the end of the third quarter, Jordan was in front In the final period Jordan built the lead to as much as eight, the final margin. Jordan has a very balance scoring effort on the night, Nance heading with 14 points followed by Pond with 13, Greg Gagon with 11 and Aaron Crookston with nine. Judges Garrick Peters led all scorers with 19 points, while Rick Solvason had 10 and Jensen nine. Coach Jim Yerkovich termed Peters offensive game his best of the season. 13x30. 63-6- 0 GRANITE PARK. Cottonwood stayed on Skylines heels in Region Three basketball with a victory over Granite Friday night. The Farmers made the Colts work for it and Cottonwood Coach Blair Martineau said he was very glad to be able to the road win. Cottonwoods next outing is (tomorrow) Friday at home aginst Kearns. On the following Tuesday, the Colts must play the tough Cyprus Pirates at Cyprus in what could settle second place. Granite, still looking for its first win, will be at Taylorsville tomorrow then home for Skyline on Tuesday. Cottonwood led all the way Friday, though Granite stayed in the hunt through the first half. With the first quarter gone, the Colts led 12-then, by the half, moved to 48 37-3- 4. Jordan also cleaned up at the line against the Bulldogs Friday, hitting 18x23, while Judge was 18x32. Free throws helped the Diggers hold off continued pressure from Judge. Judge had the lead 13-- 9 at the end of the first period. Jordan tied late in the second quarter, but Judge responded with a field goal and two s and the Beetdiggers could get no closer than two, 6 by the half. free-throw- 28-2- 8 33-2- Granites shooting, which had helped the Farmers stay close in the first half, cooled in the third period and the Colts jumped out to a lead by the end of the quarter. While Cottonwood had its problems at the 45-3- 3 foul line in the fourth quarter, the to the stripe 13 times and were able to cut the Colt lead to eight by games end. Though we ended up 20x27 at the line for the game, commented we missed the coach Martineau, front end of four in the with 11. The Colts shot 53 percent from the field (23x43), while Granite went 22x52 or 42 percent. If we just couldve shot in the second half like we did in the first, I think we might have put a real scare in them, noted Granite head man Charlie Whiting. Overall I was pleased with the kids effort, especially John Moses, who, after missing his first five shots, got hot and finished with 18 points. After Moses, Granites top scorers included Eric Richards with 10 points and Amir Rafati and Gary Trost with eight. Farmers went final peirod and really shouldve finished ahead by a much wider margin. Cottonwood ended up with four players in double figures. Brad Burton led with 18 points, followed by Greg Brown with 13, Derrick Spencer with 12 and Mike Metcalf Little League Registration Planned certificate at the time of registration.

It was for Judge, which turned in its best offensive showing of the season. We had to have a nearperfect game, said Coach Jim Yerkovich. Murray is the most talented offensive team in our league." The Bulldogs beat the Spartans on the transition game, with penetration a key factor. And Judge, which was beaten badly on the boards at Murray, took command at both ends of the court. Cameron Kersey, 15 repulled down a game-hig- h bounds in addition to seven recoveries and eight points. Grant Jensen, who spent half the game on the bench in foul trouble, added nine caroms as Judge had 46. But it was junior guard Rick Solvason who was turning heads Tuesday night. Hitting 10x12 from Jtbe field, he scored 25 points, and dished out eight assists. Jason added 10 points and Micah Peters nine while Jensen and Garrick Peters scored eight each for Judge. Murray was right in the game until John Hunt got into early foul trouble and Judge went on an spurt. The Bulldogs never would let the Spartans get closer than four and despite shooting poorly from the line in the early going, Judge put the game away from the stripe in the final three minutes. Hunt led Murrays scoring with 16, all from the field. Tim Blackham added 14 (5, 4x4) and Mike Gill scored 10(3, 4x5). d Judge held a 8 lead after a at the first period, led half and 8 after three.
