Dec. 9 - Brighton 60, Judge Memorial 46
Story of the game: Sam Wunderli and Austin Hudson had big
games as Brighton used its talent inside to turn back Judge
Memorial in a non-region game.
Judge's highlights: Will Whitt and Zach Myaer each had 13 points
apiece for Judge, which kept pace with Brighton in the second half.
Myaer had the team's only three-pointer.
Brighton's highlights: Wunderli had 19 points and 11 rebounds, and
Hudson had 11 points and 11 rebounds to help Binghan toward an
11-point halftime lead. Sharpshooter Corbin Miller added 12 points,
including three treys.
Statistical notes: This game was played at a much slower pace than
the Brighton's opener, which was to Judge's advantage. Brighton's
depth showed as the Bengals had eight players score.
What we learned from this game: Brighton might be the best 5A
team in Utah, so this loss was understandable and is one of many
non-region games that will prepare Judge for the Region 11
schedule.

Dec. 4 - Highland 51, Judge Memorial 48
Story of the game: Nate Fakahafua scored 12 points and Sam
Orchard had 10 as Hillcrest buried Judge with a big third quarter and
then held on to beat the Bulldogs in a non-region game.
Judge's highlights: The Bulldogs made a nice rally in the fourth
quarter. Zach Myaer and Will Whitt each had 15 points, and Whitt
added 11 rebounds. Myaer and Basil Vetas also had three steals.
Highland's highlights: The Rams trailed 25-19 at halftime, but came
out in the third period with a vengeance, outscoring Judge 20-3 to
take a 39-28 lead. Matt Barker had nine points for Highland.
Statistical notes: Highland hit 14-25 free throws, while Judge was
an amazing 11-11. That almost made the difference in this game.
Vetas had nine points and three rebounds.
What we learned from this game: These two teams always seem to
battle to the end. The third quarter made the difference. However,
Judge made a nice rally and it was almost enough.

Nov. 24 - Judge Memorial 47, Cyprus 43
Story of the game: Will Whitt scored 18 points, and pulled down nine
rebounds, as Judge rallied with a big fourth quarter to beat Cyprus in
the season opener for both teams.
Judge's highlights: The Bulldogs' quick defense was the key as
Judge had 17 steals in the game, and that made the difference near
the end. Basil Vetas had eight points and a team-high seven steals.
Cyprus' highlights: The Pirates trailed after one quarter, but rallied to
eventually claim a 33-30 lead. Marquis Newman led Cyprus with 10
points and Jazz White had nine.
Statistical notes: There were few free throws shot in this game, and
both teams were about 50 percent.
What we learned from this game: This was a close game the whole
way, and Judge pulled off the win in front of the home crowd.
