Feb. 28 - Carbon 39, Judge Memorial 27
Story of the game: Tia Pappas scored 13 points and Carbon's
defense muffled Judge en route to victory in the third-place game of
the 3A state tournament.
Judge Memorial's key moment: The Bulldogs' offense was held to
a season low total. Judge trailed 14-7 at halftime, and was never
really in the game. Erica Martinez finished with 11 points and Tina
Fakahafua ended her Judge playing career with 10 points.
Carbon's key moment: The Dinos played good defense and hit
their free throws down the stretch to hang on to the win. Carbon
ended up outscoring Judge 18-11 in the final quarter.
Statistical notes: Carbon was 11-12 from the free-throw line; Judge
was 5-9. Martinez had three treys for Judge. Mikelle Mancini and
Alison Brann had three points for Judge. They were the only other
Bulldogs that scored.
What we learned from this game: After a tough loss the previous
night, Judge wasn't inspired to play this game and walked off the
court with a second-straight loss.
Next: Both teams are done for the season.

Feb. 27 - Emery 47, Judge Memorial 39
Story of the game: Jodi Robertson made up for her gaffe in last
year's state tournament, scoring 15 points, including a key
three-pointer late in the game, to lift Emery into the 3A state
championship game with a win over Judge Memorial.
Judge Memorial's key moment: The Bulldogs trailed most of the
game, and were behind by as many as 10 points. Erica Martinez led
Judge with 15 points and Tina Fakahafua had 14 as Judge got to
within one point with 5:20 remaining.
Emery's key moment: Robertson's three-pointer stretched Judge's
lead from 36-35 to 39-35 and the Spartans were never threatened
after that. The basket helped make up for last year, when Robertson
was assessed a technical foul with 1:06 left that cost them the
game against Judge.
Statistical notes: Martinez had four three-pointers for Judge. Emery
was 17-27 from the free-throw line; Judge was 8-12. Fakahafua
was saddled with foul trouble for part of the game.
What we learned from this game: The win was Emery's 13th
straight and ended the possible rematch with Wasatch for the 3A
state title.
Next: Judge faces Carbon in the third-place game. Emery plays
Wasatch for the title.

Story of the game: Mikelle Mancini and Tina Fakahafua scored 13
points apiece as Judge's defense throttled Hurricane the entire first
half and the Bulldogs rolled to a win in the quarterfinals of the 3A
state tournament.
Judge Memorial's key moment: The Bulldogs put the clamps on
Hurricane's leading scorer, Megan Clyde, holding her to three
first-half points, and that enabled Judge to gain a 30-14 halftime
advantage. Alison Brann added 12 points and Sekola Falemaka
had 10.
Hurricane's key moment: The Tigers came back in the second half
as Clyde scored 17 of her 20 points after intermission. Still, they
couldn't get hold close to worry Judge. Angela Shields backed up
Clyde with nine points.
Statistical notes: Erica Martinez had a pair of three-pointers for
Judge. Clyde had two for Hurricane. Judge was 14-23 from the
free-throw line; Hurricane was 6-12.

extended the margin in the final period. Judge had a big advantage

and third quarters, but the two other did them in. Shanel Bliss led

was 7-14. Judge had four three-point baskets, all from different
players.

big role, holding Waterford to just one point in the first quarter.

of Judge's four three-pointers.

entering the final period. Uintah was forced to foul and Judge hit
most of its free throws. Mikelle Mancini added 10 points for Judge

scored 10 points.

over Judge Memorial and put the two teams tied for first place in
Region 10.
Judge Memorial's best moment: Judge trailed 28-20 at halftime on
its home floor, but rallied to force the extra session. Erica Martinez
was the big scorer with a game-high 22 points.

two team's earlier contest, but this time Wasatch got the winning

Waterford the same night.

Tina Fakahafua added 13 points and Mikelle Mancini had 12.

first half, but could not generate any offense after that. Jordon Tripp

which could have easily happened after the recent win at Wasatch.

third quarter and then substituted freely to win their 9th straight
game.

baskets. Judge was 15-25 from the free-throw line. Juan Diego was

quarter, and was still within 30-26 entering the final period. Mikelle
Mancini backed up Fakahafua with 11 points.
Ogden's best moment: This was a winnable game for the Tigers
(5-6). Lammers led with nine points. Ogden also helped itself by
hitting 10-12 free throws.
Statistical notes: Judge outscored Ogden 15-6 in the final period,
and that was the decisive moment. Erica Martinez was held to just
five points. Fakahafua is now Judge's second-leading scorer.
What we learned from this game: Judge earned its seventh
straight win, but it wasn't easy. It seems 3A girls basketball might
be more competitive than the bigger schools.
Next: Judge gets another test Dec. 23 when it plays host to Morgan.
Ogden is off until it starts Region 11 play at Grantsville Jan. 8.

Dec. 19 - Judge Memorial 54, Lehi 39
Story of the game: Erica Martinez and Tina Fakahafua scored 15
points apiece and Judge was on fire from the outside, nailing a
season-high seven three-pointers, in Judge's non-region win at
Lehi.
Judge Memorial's best moment: This game was played at a fast
pace and Judge had the lead from the start. It was 17-9 at the end
of the first quarter and 33-19 at halftime. Martinez had three treys,
Alison Brann had two and Fakahafua and Mikelle Mancini had one
each.
Lehi's best moment: The offense is still inconsistent for the
Pioneers. Much of this game was played at the perimeter, and
Lehi's shots were not falling. Gabby Granthem led with eight points.
Statistical notes: Jackie Cattani, Katie Rogers and Briar Sands had
seven points apiece for Lehi. Brann, Mancini and Sekola Falemaka
had eight each for Judge. The game was played pretty evenly in the
second half. Only 13 free throws were attempted (combined).
What we learned from this game: Six straight wins by Judge, and
this time the opponent was a 5A school on the road. The Bulldogs
are in good form.
Next: Judge returns home to take on Ogden tonight (Dec. 20). Lehi
has a home game against Grantsville Dec. 23.

from West in the second quarter and won its fifth straight game.
Judge Memorial's best moment: Judge led just 14-10 after the first
quarter, but pulled away to take a 32-16 advantage at halftime.
Mancini and Alison Brann hit two three-pointers each and Judge
also shot well from the free-throw line.
West's best moment: The Panthers staged a minor rally in the
fourth quarter, but it was too little, too late. Destynee Rios had nine
points - all on three-point baskets.
Statistical notes: West was 1-8 from the free-throw line. Nine
players scored for the Panthers, however. This was Fakahafua's
best game of the season.
What we learned from this game: After losing their first game in
overtime, Judge is on a roll and it's impressive to do it against 4A
schools.
Next: Judge plays at Lehi on Dec. 19. West is done until Jan. 2,
when it opens Region 6 play at Granger.

Dec. 11 - Judge Memorial 45, Bountiful 34
Story of the game: Erica Martinez had a game-high 22 points and
helped Judge build a big first-quarter lead en route to a non-region
victory over Bountiful.
Judge Memorial's best moment: Judge's defense was working,
too, because the Bulldogs held a 14-4 lead at the end of the first
quarter. The teams played pretty evenly the rest of the way. Mikelle
Mancini had 13 points.
Bountiful's best moment: Judge led 23-12 at halftime, but Bountiful
got its offense going a bit after that. Helped by guard Heather
Stucki's 12 points, the Braves valiantly tried to rally.
Statistical notes: Bountiful was coming off two bad losses where
they were defeated by over 40 points in each game. Bountiful hit just
7-18 free throws; Judge was 14-23.
What we learned from this game: It was a good home win for
Judge, who are playing a set of six home games out of seven.
Next: Judge has a home game against West Dec. 16. Bountiful
plays at Viewmont tonight (Dec. 12).

Dec. 9 - Judge Memorial 76, East 21
Story of the game: Erica Martinez scored 18 points and Tina
Fakahafua had 15 as Judge rolled to a 25-0 first-quarter lead and
routed East in a non-region game between neighborhood rivals.
Judge Memorial's best moment: The first quarter had to be great,
then it became embarrassing. Judge was able to empty its bench
early and 10 players scored. Mikelle Mancini and Rosie Neville
reached double figures with 11 and 10 points.
East's best moment: This was basically a repeat of the Sky View
game. Once again, East had trouble scoring. Laura Kruse led with
six points on a couple of three-point baskets.
Statistical notes: Last year, East beat the Bulldogs so the
Leopards have lost a lot of talent. For the third straight game, it has
taken East until the third quarter to reach double figures (10 points).
What we learned from this game: Judge is a good team, but East
is showing that it may be really bad. And, if that's true, what about
Tooele (which lost to East)?
Next: Judge takes on Bountiful at home Dec. 11. East returns home
to play Lehi Dec. 12.

Dec. 5 - Judge Memorial 35, Murray 26
Story of the game: Mikelle Mancini scored 15 points as Judge
broke away from host Murray in the middle two quarters and beat
the Spartans in a battle of cold-shooting teams.
Judge Memorial's best moment: Trailing 10-9 after one quarter,
Judge's defense clamped down, holding the Spartans to no more
than six points per quarter the rest of the way.
Murray's best moment: The Spartans played best in the first
quarter. They spread the scoring around and even hit all of their free
throws (4-4) for the game.
Statistical notes: Both teams had just nine field goals in the game.
Of those, Murray had four three-pointers. Judge was 14-19 from the
free-throw line.
What we learned from this game: Judge's second consecutive win
helps it forget the opening-game loss. The schedule doesn't get
easier and, since they don't count in the region standings, they only
prepare the team better.
Next: Judge has its first home game Dec. 9 against East. Murray
goes to Taylorsville the same day.

Dec. 2 - Judge Memorial 57, Grantsville 51
Story of the game: Erica Martinez scored 20 points, including three
three-point baskets, as Judge staged a huge rally in the third
quarter and downed Grantsville for its first win.
Judge Memorial's best moment: The rally actually started in the
second quarter, but the third quarter was huge, as Judge outscored
the home team 20-5. Martinez had seven points during that time.
Grantsville's best moment: Kelsi Wells and Sammie Jensen
helped the Cowboys get off to a strong start - and a seven-point
lead. They hit 5-6 from the free-throw line in the opening quarter, too.
Statistical notes: After the first quarter, Grantsville was 11-25 from
the line. Judge finished 10-16, which was enough to allow the
Bulldogs to hold on to the win.
What we learned from this game: After a disappointing
opening-game loss, Judge came back. That must have been an
inspiring halftime talk because it worked.
Next: Judge travels to play Murray on Dec. 5. Grantsville (1-1) goes
to Spanish Fork on Dec. 4.

Nov. 25 - Highland 57, Judge Memorial 54 (2OT)
Story of the game: Chanel Roe scored 17 points as Highland
staged a fourth-quarter rally and went on to edge Judge Memorial in
both team's season opening game.
Judge Memorial's best moment: Erica Martinez and Tina
Fakahafua were a great 1-2 punch for the Bulldogs. Martinez led the
with a game-high 21 points and Fakahafua had 19. The Bulldogs
had a five-point lead going into the fourth quarter, but lost it.
Highland's best moment: The Rams outscored Judge 14-9 in the
fourth quarter. That gave Highland the momentum in the overtime,
which they used to earn their first win over the Bulldogs in 12 years.
Statistical notes: 5-11 Beauty Tuakalau backed up Roe with 10
points. Mikelle Mancini had 10 for Judge. Both teams shot 50
percent from the free-throw line.
What we learned from this game: This was a good first game for
both teams. With the win, Highland has turned it into a
neighborhood "rivalry" again. Judge benefits a lot from playing
bigger schools as it prepares for the Region 10 season.
Next: Judge travels to Grantsville, a tough 3A opponent, on Dec. 2.
Highland has a home game against Taylorsville the same night.

Story of the game: Tia Pappas scored 13 points and Carbon's
defense muffled Judge en route to victory in the third-place game of
the 3A state tournament.
Judge Memorial's key moment: The Bulldogs' offense was held to
a season low total. Judge trailed 14-7 at halftime, and was never
really in the game. Erica Martinez finished with 11 points and Tina
Fakahafua ended her Judge playing career with 10 points.
Carbon's key moment: The Dinos played good defense and hit
their free throws down the stretch to hang on to the win. Carbon
ended up outscoring Judge 18-11 in the final quarter.
Statistical notes: Carbon was 11-12 from the free-throw line; Judge
was 5-9. Martinez had three treys for Judge. Mikelle Mancini and
Alison Brann had three points for Judge. They were the only other
Bulldogs that scored.
What we learned from this game: After a tough loss the previous
night, Judge wasn't inspired to play this game and walked off the
court with a second-straight loss.
Next: Both teams are done for the season.

Feb. 27 - Emery 47, Judge Memorial 39
Story of the game: Jodi Robertson made up for her gaffe in last
year's state tournament, scoring 15 points, including a key
three-pointer late in the game, to lift Emery into the 3A state
championship game with a win over Judge Memorial.
Judge Memorial's key moment: The Bulldogs trailed most of the
game, and were behind by as many as 10 points. Erica Martinez led
Judge with 15 points and Tina Fakahafua had 14 as Judge got to
within one point with 5:20 remaining.
Emery's key moment: Robertson's three-pointer stretched Judge's
lead from 36-35 to 39-35 and the Spartans were never threatened
after that. The basket helped make up for last year, when Robertson
was assessed a technical foul with 1:06 left that cost them the
game against Judge.
Statistical notes: Martinez had four three-pointers for Judge. Emery
was 17-27 from the free-throw line; Judge was 8-12. Fakahafua
was saddled with foul trouble for part of the game.
What we learned from this game: The win was Emery's 13th
straight and ended the possible rematch with Wasatch for the 3A
state title.

Feb. 26 - Judge Memorial 60, Hurricane 46
Story of the game: Mikelle Mancini and Tina Fakahafua scored 13
points apiece as Judge's defense throttled Hurricane the entire first
half and the Bulldogs rolled to a win in the quarterfinals of the 3A
state tournament.
Judge Memorial's key moment: The Bulldogs put the clamps on
Hurricane's leading scorer, Megan Clyde, holding her to three
first-half points, and that enabled Judge to gain a 30-14 halftime
advantage. Alison Brann added 12 points and Sekola Falemaka
had 10.
Hurricane's key moment: The Tigers came back in the second half
as Clyde scored 17 of her 20 points after intermission. Still, they
couldn't get hold close to worry Judge. Angela Shields backed up
Clyde with nine points.
Statistical notes: Erica Martinez had a pair of three-pointers for
Judge. Clyde had two for Hurricane. Judge was 14-23 from the
free-throw line; Hurricane was 6-12.

and third quarters, but the two other did them in. Shanel Bliss led

was 7-14. Judge had four three-point baskets, all from different
players.

its home floor, but rallied to force the extra session. Erica Martinez

Morgan's best moment: The Trojans never gave up, rallying behind
Crishelle Stegelmeier, Ashley Garfield and Angela Blazzard. They
made it a game late in the fourth quarter.
Statistical notes: Judge hit 20-32 free throws, which was enough to
hold on to the win. Morgan outscored the Bulldogs 29-17 in the
second half. Martinez had three treys for Judge.
What we learned from this game: This was a rematch of last
year's 3A tourney semifinal, and it appears both will make the
postseason again.
Next: Judge is off until it plays host to Juan Diego Jan. 3. Morgan
has a home game against North Summit Jan. 6.

Dec. 20 - Judge Memorial 45, Ogden 32
Story of the game: Tina Fakahafua had a season-high 20 points as
Judge finally pulled away from Ogden in the fourth quarter and
netted a non-region region.
Judge Memorial's best moment: Ogden led 9-6 after the first
quarter, and was still within 30-26 entering the final period. Mikelle
Mancini backed up Fakahafua with 11 points.
Ogden's best moment: This was a winnable game for the Tigers
(5-6). Lammers led with nine points. Ogden also helped itself by
hitting 10-12 free throws.
Statistical notes: Judge outscored Ogden 15-6 in the final period,
and that was the decisive moment. Erica Martinez was held to just
five points. Fakahafua is now Judge's second-leading scorer.
What we learned from this game: Judge earned its seventh
straight win, but it wasn't easy. It seems 3A girls basketball might
be more competitive than the bigger schools.
Next: Judge gets another test Dec. 23 when it plays host to Morgan.
Ogden is off until it starts Region 11 play at Grantsville Jan. 8.

Dec. 19 - Judge Memorial 54, Lehi 39
Story of the game: Erica Martinez and Tina Fakahafua scored 15
points apiece and Judge was on fire from the outside, nailing a
season-high seven three-pointers, in Judge's non-region win at
Lehi.
Judge Memorial's best moment: This game was played at a fast
pace and Judge had the lead from the start. It was 17-9 at the end
of the first quarter and 33-19 at halftime. Martinez had three treys,
Alison Brann had two and Fakahafua and Mikelle Mancini had one
each.
Lehi's best moment: The offense is still inconsistent for the
Pioneers. Much of this game was played at the perimeter, and
Lehi's shots were not falling. Gabby Granthem led with eight points.
Statistical notes: Jackie Cattani, Katie Rogers and Briar Sands had
seven points apiece for Lehi. Brann, Mancini and Sekola Falemaka
had eight each for Judge. The game was played pretty evenly in the
second half. Only 13 free throws were attempted (combined).
What we learned from this game: Six straight wins by Judge, and
this time the opponent was a 5A school on the road. The Bulldogs
are in good form.
Next: Judge returns home to take on Ogden tonight (Dec. 20). Lehi
has a home game against Grantsville Dec. 23.

Dec. 16 - Judge Memorial 57, West 40
Story of the game: Mikelle Mancini scored 19 points and Tina
Fakahafua had 15 points and 11 rebounds as Judge pulled away
from West in the second quarter and won its fifth straight game.
Judge Memorial's best moment: Judge led just 14-10 after the first
quarter, but pulled away to take a 32-16 advantage at halftime.
Mancini and Alison Brann hit two three-pointers each and Judge
also shot well from the free-throw line.
West's best moment: The Panthers staged a minor rally in the
fourth quarter, but it was too little, too late. Destynee Rios had nine
points - all on three-point baskets.
Statistical notes: West was 1-8 from the free-throw line. Nine
players scored for the Panthers, however. This was Fakahafua's
best game of the season.
What we learned from this game: After losing their first game in
overtime, Judge is on a roll and it's impressive to do it against 4A
schools.
Next: Judge plays at Lehi on Dec. 19. West is done until Jan. 2,
when it opens Region 6 play at Granger.

Dec. 11 - Judge Memorial 45, Bountiful 34
Story of the game: Erica Martinez had a game-high 22 points and
helped Judge build a big first-quarter lead en route to a non-region
victory over Bountiful.
Judge Memorial's best moment: Judge's defense was working,
too, because the Bulldogs held a 14-4 lead at the end of the first
quarter. The teams played pretty evenly the rest of the way. Mikelle
Mancini had 13 points.
Bountiful's best moment: Judge led 23-12 at halftime, but Bountiful
got its offense going a bit after that. Helped by guard Heather
Stucki's 12 points, the Braves valiantly tried to rally.
Statistical notes: Bountiful was coming off two bad losses where
they were defeated by over 40 points in each game. Bountiful hit just
7-18 free throws; Judge was 14-23.
What we learned from this game: It was a good home win for
Judge, who are playing a set of six home games out of seven.
Next: Judge has a home game against West Dec. 16. Bountiful
plays at Viewmont tonight (Dec. 12).

Dec. 9 - Judge Memorial 76, East 21
Story of the game: Erica Martinez scored 18 points and Tina
Fakahafua had 15 as Judge rolled to a 25-0 first-quarter lead and
routed East in a non-region game between neighborhood rivals.
Judge Memorial's best moment: The first quarter had to be great,
then it became embarrassing. Judge was able to empty its bench
early and 10 players scored. Mikelle Mancini and Rosie Neville
reached double figures with 11 and 10 points.
East's best moment: This was basically a repeat of the Sky View
game. Once again, East had trouble scoring. Laura Kruse led with
six points on a couple of three-point baskets.
Statistical notes: Last year, East beat the Bulldogs so the
Leopards have lost a lot of talent. For the third straight game, it has
taken East until the third quarter to reach double figures (10 points).
What we learned from this game: Judge is a good team, but East
is showing that it may be really bad. And, if that's true, what about
Tooele (which lost to East)?
Next: Judge takes on Bountiful at home Dec. 11. East returns home
to play Lehi Dec. 12.

Dec. 5 - Judge Memorial 35, Murray 26
Story of the game: Mikelle Mancini scored 15 points as Judge
broke away from host Murray in the middle two quarters and beat
the Spartans in a battle of cold-shooting teams.
Judge Memorial's best moment: Trailing 10-9 after one quarter,
Judge's defense clamped down, holding the Spartans to no more
than six points per quarter the rest of the way.
Murray's best moment: The Spartans played best in the first
quarter. They spread the scoring around and even hit all of their free
throws (4-4) for the game.
Statistical notes: Both teams had just nine field goals in the game.
Of those, Murray had four three-pointers. Judge was 14-19 from the
free-throw line.
What we learned from this game: Judge's second consecutive win
helps it forget the opening-game loss. The schedule doesn't get
easier and, since they don't count in the region standings, they only
prepare the team better.
Next: Judge has its first home game Dec. 9 against East. Murray
goes to Taylorsville the same day.

Dec. 2 - Judge Memorial 57, Grantsville 51
Story of the game: Erica Martinez scored 20 points, including three
three-point baskets, as Judge staged a huge rally in the third
quarter and downed Grantsville for its first win.
Judge Memorial's best moment: The rally actually started in the
second quarter, but the third quarter was huge, as Judge outscored
the home team 20-5. Martinez had seven points during that time.
Grantsville's best moment: Kelsi Wells and Sammie Jensen
helped the Cowboys get off to a strong start - and a seven-point
lead. They hit 5-6 from the free-throw line in the opening quarter, too.
Statistical notes: After the first quarter, Grantsville was 11-25 from
the line. Judge finished 10-16, which was enough to allow the
Bulldogs to hold on to the win.
What we learned from this game: After a disappointing
opening-game loss, Judge came back. That must have been an
inspiring halftime talk because it worked.
Next: Judge travels to play Murray on Dec. 5. Grantsville (1-1) goes
to Spanish Fork on Dec. 4.

Nov. 25 - Highland 57, Judge Memorial 54 (2OT)
Story of the game: Chanel Roe scored 17 points as Highland
staged a fourth-quarter rally and went on to edge Judge Memorial in
both team's season opening game.
Judge Memorial's best moment: Erica Martinez and Tina
Fakahafua were a great 1-2 punch for the Bulldogs. Martinez led the
with a game-high 21 points and Fakahafua had 19. The Bulldogs
had a five-point lead going into the fourth quarter, but lost it.
Highland's best moment: The Rams outscored Judge 14-9 in the
fourth quarter. That gave Highland the momentum in the overtime,
which they used to earn their first win over the Bulldogs in 12 years.
Statistical notes: 5-11 Beauty Tuakalau backed up Roe with 10
points. Mikelle Mancini had 10 for Judge. Both teams shot 50
percent from the free-throw line.
What we learned from this game: This was a good first game for
both teams. With the win, Highland has turned it into a
neighborhood "rivalry" again. Judge benefits a lot from playing
bigger schools as it prepares for the Region 10 season.
Next: Judge travels to Grantsville, a tough 3A opponent, on Dec. 2.
Highland has a home game against Taylorsville the same night.
