Coach John Colosimo’s football team lost a heartbreaker to Dixie in the opening round of the 3-A state tournament. Leading 6-0, the Bulldogs surrendered a touchdown and extra point with four minutes left but had a chance to win it on the final play. A rushed field goal attempt from 45 yards out by Kurt Terrill bounced off the crossbar, sealing a 7-6 loss. Judge entered the tournament with a 3-6 record, the highlight being a 14-13 victory over West that spoiled the Panthers’ homecoming. Rob Sonne was quarterback and Mike Chummers was captain. The lowlight, which forced the Bulldogs to travel to St. George, came at the end of the Murray game when Judge appeared to score a tying touchdown late in the fourth quarter similar to the famous “Immaculate Reception” by Pittsburgh’s Franco Harris. Sonne passed downfield to Steve Prokopis, who was hit as the ball arrived. The ball popped into the air and came down in the arms of Bulldog tight end Ken Reynoso, who ran it in for a TD. But the officials wiped the touchdown off. Sonne was across the line of scrimmage when he threw his scrambling pass.
