During the Summer
“PUPS,” short for Partners United in Promoting Spirit, the name of Judge’s booster club, brought in dozens of volunteers who spent three weeks prepping and painting the gym before the arrival of new bleachers. The $62,000 upgrade was funded in large part from donations by Coca-Cola, the Fassio family and Kwal-Howell Paint Co. Dennis Tierney was PUPS president.
The Labor Day Reunion Mass was celebrated by Msgr. J. Terrence Fitzgerald, Class of 1954, with assistance from Frs. James McHugh (1966) and John Norman (1971). Sr. Joan Allem (1946) and John Welsch (1952) gave the readings, while intercessions were offered by Helen Welsh Lytle (1957), Bob Mayo (1962), Charlene Cvar Furano (1968), Ralph Colosimo (1972), Susan Vierra McGill (1977) and Lori Sproul Giles (1982).
Five Judge students – Chris Alderman, Matt Fredrickson, Sarah Givens, Scott Simpson and Mary Smith – served as monthlong hosts to teen-agers from Northern Ireland as part of the Ulster Project. Scott’s mom, English teacher Linda Simpson, observed that “the best way I can think of describing the Ulster Project is a magical month.” During the summer, former Ulster Project host students Roslyn Clay, Sara Allen, Aimee Sage and Amy Stuyvesant traveled to Omagh, Northern Ireland, to be reunited with the kids who stayed in their homes.
Summer trips took 26 Judge students to France, accompanied by teachers Gabrielle Thomas-Montgomery and Tim Dolan; the Holy Land, led by teacher Edward Allem; and the Mediterranean countries of Spain, southern France, Italy, Greece and Turkey, directed by teacher John Tabish; and to the Uinta Mountains, where Chris Long taught them about camping and English literature.
The bookstore was expanded to display more Judge memorabilia.
The Year
National Merit Finalists: Elizabeth Schultz, John Mejia and Emily Sanford
National Merit Commended Students: Eric Konnick, Greg Johnson, Julie Lachowski and Andrew Cheng.
Drama teacher Tom Delgado joined the faculty. Delgado, who came to Judge from a large high school in Denton, Texas, told Bulldog Press writer Mike Westley that “my goal in any given production is to get rid of the ‘high school’ label. I want people to come to a production and enjoy it not only for its quality but also for its content. I’ve heard mixed messages about the drama department in the past and my goal is to get in there and just blow the doors off the auditorium and establish Judge as a school that delivers professional quality performances.” Over the next two decades, he did just that.
Other new teachers were three Judge graduates – Brother Bob Jackson, Class of 1968; Chris Green, Class of 1983; and Dan Quinn, Class of 1982. Jackson was the new chaplain and director of activities. Green taught English while Quinn was a biology, chemistry and physics teacher. Also joining the faculty were Rob Taylor, a former Methodist minister who converted to Catholicism, and taught ethics, marriage and geography; June Matheson, physical education and health; and Gary Perryman, math.

The Big Sister/Little Sister program that began at St. Mary’s in the 1970s was terminated.
When it came to fashion, Judge students expressed their liking for Timberlands and Birkenstocks, Polo socks, clothes from the Gap, Girbaud jeans, Dr Martens boots, Guatemalan prints and denim.
STATE CHAMPON – Emily Sanford was Bulldog Press editor-in-chief, moderated by Chris Sloan. She and fellow editors Lindsey Rindflesh, Angie Francone, Jenny Layman, Emily Sanford, Angie Kearns, Matt Schelble, Abigail Sanford and Pat Kelly oversaw a staff of two photographers and 22 writers. At year’s end, the newspaper was deemed the best in 3-A, for the second straight year. “No pressure on next year’s editors,” Becky Schnitz joked. The September issue included articles by Sarah Lubbers about parking problems in the neighborhood around Judge and residents’ objections to congestion, noise and garbage; Mike Westley’s piece on improvements to the science lab via grants from the Eccles Foundation and the E.L. Wiegand Foundation; Ben Moffat reviewed a summer concert by Jimmy Buffett; an editorial about the need for more school spirit; Anna Garcia provided an advice column while Angie Francone offered horoscope readings; Jason Robison’s description of Environmental Club activities under leaders Brynn Anderson, Tobi Thaller and Vanessa Lopez.

Four square became a popular game in the Beach, particularly among juniors.
In the October issue of the Bulldog Press, Michael Westley noted that teachers Dave Disorbio, Pat Green, Jim Markosian, John Colosimo, Peter Van Orden and Dan John had all been part of the faculty in 1983 while Chris Green had been a Judge student a decade earlier; the editorial board recommended that two mods per day be set aside for students to sleep – “this would not only put the students in a better mood, but also the teachers as it would reduce the number of students falling asleep in class;” Anna Garcia wrote about Judge going through the once-a-decade accreditation process by the Northwest Accreditation Commission; the 1992 presidential election and Utah political races were analyzed by Adia Waldburger, John Mejia, Jason Robison, Lisa Book, Brian Stanga and Abigail Sanford. A poll showed 68% of Judge students supported Bill Clinton, with 19% backing George H.W. Bush and 13% Ross Perot; Angie Francone offered advice on ways to respond to things parents say and also suggested that laughter is a good way to deal with problems.
Teacher Mary Bailey oversaw the Peer Leadership Team, which included Amber Erezuma, Courtney Sprinkle, Luisa Hart, Abby Sanford, Naomi Roelofs, Alyssa Thirsk, Emily Sanford, Lucas Hill, Jeff Fazzio, Erin Driscoll, Carrie Potter, Nicole Bethers, Duane de Four, Kari Smith and Megan Williams.
Jennifer Hogan and Darrick McCasland were captains of the Debate Team, which include Duane de Four, Joanna Hosking, Jennifer Redle, John Mejia, Sam Mukherjee, Tobi Thaller, Scott Simpson, Natalie Shutt, Jason Robison, Becky Barra, Jennifer Aguayo and Becky Schnitz. Teacher Kip Sayre was the team’s coach.
The November edition of the Bulldog Press included an editorial denouncing the school’s decision to ban the playing of foursquare on “the beach;” Sarah Lubbers extolling the benefits of the Christian Service requirement; Lisa Book’s appreciation for coffee; Jeremiah Calame’s profile of art teacher Todd Matthes; a feature by Angie Kearns on the piano-playing ability of Michael Westley; Westley’s article about the ballet aspirations of Bill Macqueen; Stephanie Tobey’s story about junior Rebecca Schnitz, an actress with Valley Center Playhouse in Utah County when she was out of school; Greg Hoge’s article about the departure of ethics and social just teacher Nancy Davis; Abigail Sanford’s account of the formation of a Pro-Life Club at Judge; and the results of a photography contest that resulted in two first-place results for Pat Kelly and one each for Julie Lachowski, Anthony Jones and Nancy James.
Serving as tutors in the Writing Center were Kristi Pelton, Erin Sexton, Natalie Divino, Ronald Markovich, Christine Adams, Greg Johnson, Allison Geddes, Joanna Bailey, Susan Weaver, Allison Shull, Nicole Selmer, Julie Lachowski, Tobi Thaller, Angie Francone, Amanda Moxley and Elizabeth Schultz. The moderators were Lynn Hoffman-Brouse and Tim Dolan.
Senior Kim Pertl coordinated the distribution of Christmas presents to 32 families through Judge’s Sub-for-Santa program. “It’s a way to give Christmas to someone else,” Pertl told the Intermountain Catholic. “That’s what our school is about – giving.” The article included a picture of freshman Brigid Hollywood hugging a teddy bear.
The Teton Science School attracted “mostly seniors and juniors, and a few old men like Mr. Long,” said the yearbook, which did not record Chris Long’s reaction to “Travis Arrigo-Jones’ journey off a 30-foot cliff when he crashed into a tree.” Apparently, there were no serious injuries for him or any other participant on the popular winter trip: Mark O’Brien, Bianca Maggio, Andrew Moeller, Mary Ellen Baron, Darrick McCasland, Adam Slaugh, Erin Sexton, Tiffany Panos, Kate Leonard, Megan DePaulis, Ed Bennett, Beth Branson and Justin Kastings.
In February’s newspaper, Adia Waldburger noted that Judge’s difficult parking relationship with the neighborhood just got worse when winter added snow to the street crowding, quoting Dean Jim Markosian saying “I get two calls a day about parking.” City officials informed Judge that they would come up with a solution by March. Jenny Layman wrote an editorial saying Judge students have a right to park on nearby streets because their parents pay taxes and “just because you own a house on Eleventh East doesn’t mean you own Eleventh East;” Darrick McCasland described another successful experience for students such as Chris Medley and Andrew Moeller who attended the Teton Science School; Scott Baczek outlined how $20,000 raised by a magazine-selling drive was distributed among 48 sports teams, clubs, organizations and activities; Sarah Lubbers opined that teenagers deserve more respect than they get; Carrie Potter thought the school could come up with a better system for selling old books (in the next edition, Adia Waldburger wrote about the end of the sales); Ben Moffat encouraged students to listen to KRCL community radio and other alternatives to mainstream stations; Jason Robison wrote about seniors preparing to go to college. “Racism, sexism and elitism” at Judge also was explored in depth in the February edition of the Bulldog Press. A student poll by the newspaper found that while only 22% of the total respondents said they had experienced discrimination because of their ethnicity, 38.5% of minority students said they had; 22% of respondents said they had experienced bias because of gender and 27% said their “social class” had been the source of discrimination. At the time, Judge’s population was 87% Caucasian compared to 92% for Utah as a whole. The girls-to-boys ratio was 50/50. A Greg Hoge editorial said Judge was better than most places but not immune to problems, citing negative comments about “Jewish people or Mormons by students sitting around a cafeteria table.”
Christian Service projects involved Susan Weaver, Robert Strack, Angie Francone, Yvonne Howe and Julie Lachowski. Teacher Diane Schwartz was the moderator.
Members of the Junior Classical League included Danielle Fieldson, Nick Francone, Joanna Hosking, Tony Roderick, Eric Pedley, Jim Montgomery, Charlotte Sanders, Nick Richardson, Rosie Light, Paul Northway, Sean Carrico, Denny Magana, John Wilde, Jeff Jackson, Kelly Curtis, Mike Spiers, Alison Pitt, Becky Thomas, Adam Spiers, Dan Neeway, Julius Calderon, Mike Sorich, Aaron Moore, Bret Veltri, Mike Kaleel, Howard Wimbourne, Eric Ekdale and Aaron Ballard.

The top story in the March Bulldog Press was about author Stephen King being on campus for the filming of a scene at Our Lady of Lourdes Church for “The Stand,” a TV mini-series based on his book. Pat Kelly photographed King with his arm around the shoulder of Bulldog Press writer Abigail Sanford after she interviewed him. “Are you a junior?” he asked her, putting a class King twist on the question. If so, “that makes you the class of ’94. Be careful: Nine and four add up to 13.” Other stories included Lisa Book’s lament about the bad air pollution from winter inversions and Greg Hoge’s complaint that older generations had left youth with “a world abused, battered and neglected;” Sarah Lubbers described how hard it is, especially for girls, to be judged according to their weight; Sarah Larrabee criticized the decision to replace the boys-choice Valentine’s dance with a girls-choice Morp Dance, making three of the school’s five dances girls-choice. “I personally don’t think it is fair for girls to have to decide where to eat, who to ask and make all the plans for three dances in a row;” Stephanie Tobey profiled dancer Naomi Roelofs; John Mejia wrote about graduate Rose Banchero training boys such as Jason Johnson and Duane de Four for the Spring Dance Concert; Editor Abigail Sanford and Becky Schnitz analyzed a poll that showed three quarters of students were moderately concerned about their appearance and more than one-third changed their “look” because of others’ opinions.
But while nearly 50% admitted to having gone on a diet, only a small percentage had starved themselves to lose weight and just 2-3 percent had binged and purged; Jason Robison revealed that an underground breakdancing movement was thriving at Judge; Erin Driscoll and the Peer Leadership Team promoted abstinence from drinking and drugs; Jeremiah Calame wrote that Msgr. Terrence Fitzgerald planned to burn the bill for upgrading the auditorium thanks to contributions that paid it off. The mortgage “went up in smoke” on April 13, when Bishop William Weigand lit it on fire, aided by Molly Gorman and Laura Benson from First Security Bank. The ceremony also included former Salt Lake City Mayor Palmer DePaulis, president of the Judge board, as well as Mickey Gallivan, Victor Lund, Pam Joklik, Joseph Sasich, Jeff Paoletti, Mary Kay Timper Griffin and Jim Maher. DePaulis presented them with framed reproductions of “Christ the King,” a painting by John Wood that was hung in the auditorium.
The Literary Magazine was put together by a staff that included Jen Hogan, Angela Kearns, Sam Mukherjee, Cori Cook, Ashley Maak, Elisabeth Mattes, Jessica Pagoaga, Sara Wood and Tobi Thaller. Their moderator was Sr. Sharlet Wagner.

The April edition of the Bulldog Press included Darrick McCasland’s editorial that Judge administrators worried too much about whether students were wearing the proper khaki shorts; Lisa Book’s admonition to “Buy American;” Heather Anderson’s advice to juniors: don’t get too stressed out about taking the SAT; a two-page tribute to 30 staff members, from operations manager Jim Beisel and food-service director Cindy Mauss to development office secretary Mary Colosimo Markosian and bookstore manager LaJean Smith; Adia Waldburger’s article about changes to the religion curriculum and the amount of time dedicated to the subject. Her story had a bar graph showing that out of 657 students at Judge, 261 were non-Catholics, just under 40%; and Rocky Conner and Emily Sanford’s rundown of summer trips students can go on – the official senior trip, organized by Joe Evans, to Cancun; a three-week tour of Costa Rica with biology teacher Nancy James; two weeks in France with teacher Tim Dolan; or a trip to the desert or Washington, D. C. with Peter Van Orden.
Making up the Key Club were Amy Howa, Heidi Cunningham, Chelsie Acosta, Stephanie Burchett, Amanda Moxley and Holly Barber. Teacher Jerry Burchett was the moderator.
The Environmental Club included Tobi Thaller, Erin Hultgrin, Heidi Cunningham, Becky Thomas, Charlotte Sanders, Christine Pembroke and Vanessa Lopez. The moderator was Chris Green.
The Bulldog Press’s lead story in May was about the retirement of Sonny Tangaro after 25 years, a span that included three years teaching English, two years serving as a dean, 15 years directing the counseling office, eight years as development director, two years as assistant athletic director, 10 years coaching football, two years each as a baseball and track coach – and 18 years as assistant basketball coach. “My wife thinks I’m old enough to graduate now,” Tangaro told writer Carrie Potter. “I’m old and gray and ready to retire. I saw a bumper sticker the other day that fits. It said ‘It’s mandatory to grow old but it’s optional to grow up.’ . . . Judge has been a big part of my life and now I’ll have to find something to fill the void.” A 1962 graduate, Tangaro went into real estate while remaining active in school affairs. Other stories included Anna Garcia’s profile of senior Nicole Selmer, an accomplished musician on the violin, viola and piano – and one of eight students in Tom Bettin’s AP Art class along with Todd Mathes, Stephanie Angelides, Bryan Borchers, Katie Gill, Becky Etter, Christine Pembroke and Jeannine Smith. Garcia also wrote about the artistic creations in glass by Bryan Tierney, Mandy O’Donnell and Katy Fahey; Abigail Sanford’s recapitulation of the accomplishments of the Peer Leadership Team, led by seniors Nicole Bethers, Duane de Four and Jeff Fazzio; Emily Sanford’s look at the Video YearLook staff built around seniors Heather Kelly, Kate Leonard, Andrew Moeller and Katie Shrier; Angie Francone’s tribute to senior cheerleaders Alana Yates, Veronica Herrera, Jennifer Sharp and Jeff Fazzio; Angie Francone’s rundown on the work of the ceramics club and the smallest class at Judge – drawing, with students Karen Bauer, Roslyn Clay and Travis Smith; Brian Stanga’s article about the chess club, which included seniors David Mares and Chris Heiden; and a roundup of retiring teachers: Nancy James, biology; Brother Jim Roth, guidance office; Sr. Sharlet Wagner, English and literary magazine moderator.
The American Diabetes Association of Utah highlighted two Judge seniors who were volunteers with the organization – Antoinette Maginnis and Mary Libsch. The Multiple Sclerosis Society also pitched its volunteer opportunities to Maggie Mulder and Stephanie Angelides.
“Harvest Moon” was the theme of the annual gala, co-chaired by Marianne Bennett and Mary McCarthey.
The Big Sister/Little Sister program that began in the late 1960s when Catholic girls attended St. Mary’s of the Wasatch was discontinued “because some of the freshmen girls involved were getting their feelings hurt.”
Drama, music and dance students combined to put on a five-day Latin America Festival. Directed by Susan Cook Northway, Jeanette Sawaya-Lamb and Tom Delgado, the event kicked off with two nights of performances of “A Cradle Song,” a romantic drama set in Spain starring Becky Schnitz. Jazz band members Mike Bass, Jackson Adams, Brandon Allen and Jarvis Cheng played, as did the concert band, the chorus and several soloists on the next night followed by an evening of dance, including the Cuban cha-cha-cha. The Pride Club hosted a dinner and dance the final night. Performers included Molly McDonough, Aleko Campos, Stephanie Paulson, Emily Cvar, Duane de Four and Jason Johnson. In the November issue of the Bulldog Press, writer Heather Anderson praised the program’s concept. “It’s wonderful that we’re taking the time to explore the Latin American traditions. It’s great that we can realize that Judge has many different people from varied backgrounds. I believe it’s important to think about the ethnic diversity of Judge and realize what an asset it is.”
The Dance Department later was engulfed in controversy when, Bulldog Press writer Heather Anderson wrote, some students did not comply with an agreement to limit their participation to five dances at the spring concert. Their greed, she said, resulted in some other students being left out of the performance completely or relegated to small roles. Fortunately, teacher Jeanette Sawaya-Lamb recognized the inequity and resolved the situation in concert with the Dance Company concept that “everyone is special, talented and deserves a chance.”
The Basilean yearbook was assembled by editors Stephanie Angelides, Nicole Selmer, Alana Yates, Greg Johnson, Susan Weaver, Elizabeth Schultz and seniors Nicole Bethers, Gina Caruso, Alex Gardiner, Jason Johnson, Pat Kelly, Julie Lachowski, Amanda Moxley, Maggie Mulder, Amy Park, Allison Schull and Courtney Sprinkle. Rounding out the staff were Lisa Prokop, Weston Noyes, Sasa Woodruff, Roslyn Clay, Alyssa Thirsk, Katie Wilson, Julie Lachowski, Suzanne Schelble, Tobi Thaller, Alison Pitt, Eric Ekdale, Jared Strand, Heather Bourne and Cami Barker.
A Salt Lake Tribune series about the aspirations of high school students included two stories about Judge seniors – Bob Kane, who was inspired by a baseball injury to become a doctor or physical therapist, and Angie Francone, who wanted to become a newspaper reporter and won an award for a personality piece she wrote about Tribune columnists Paul Rolly and JoAnn Jacobsen-Wells.
Attorney Bill Peters provided pro bono legal work representing Judge before the Utah Supreme Court in January, arguing the Utah Tax Commission erred in determining the school was not entitled to an exemption on paying sales taxes on materials used to build the new auditorium. The Tax Commission maintained the general contractor purchased the materials, making them eligible for sales taxes.
A one-year-old wolf named Miko and his trainer Shane Tiernan came to Judge for geography teacher Mindy Fulton’s class about the reintroduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park.
Students from the dance and music departments put on “A Holiday Musicale,” directed by Susan Cook Northway and Jeanette Sawaya-Lamb, featuring solos by Gina Caruso, Katy Ellis, Rod Taylor and Michael Westley along with performances by the chamber orchestra, jazz band and concert band, the junior choir and the chorus.
The Exchange Club of Salt Lake City named Lara Brewer as its “Youth of the Month” for April, citing her 3.84 GPA (fifth in the class), work as photo editor for the Bulldog Press and the yearbook, performances with the cross country and track teams, and volunteer work with University Hospital and Habitat for Humanity.
Rep. Karen Shepherd, mother of a Judge graduate, was keynote speaker at an assembly promoting human rights and opposing elitism, sexism and racism. “It was good to have a day where all the workshops focused on the topics of the day,” said senior Emily Cvar. Classmate Jason Starks was surprised by the number of homeless people in Utah and the amount of crime.
Five exchange students from Japan departed at the end of the first semester, but Judge’s foreign connection continued with the arrival of nine students from France for a two-week stay.
Judge students worked with 17 students and two teachers from colleges in Kansas to help build a home in Glendale for Habitat for Humanity. The Intermountain Catholic showed seniors Chris Medley, Josh Hutchinson and Jeff Perrick working on the home, which the paper said would house a family of 15 Russian immigrants.
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP – The Mock Trial team took the 3-A state title, defeating Layton High 209-199, making it back-to-back state titles.

She also led a two-three-four finish for Judge in Lincoln-Douglas Debate, followed by John Mejia and Darrick McCasland. Other participants were Jenn Aguayo, Andrew Cheng, Jenn Hogan, Courtney Sprinkle, and Gina Caruso.
The Jazz Band earned the “Outstanding Percussion Section” award at region. Seniors in the band were Jackson Adams, Brandon Allen, Bryan Banks, Ed Bennett, Julie Calderon, Andrew Moeller, Matt Oswald, Jason Scales, Mike Sorich and Michael Westley.

“Dance Masquerade ‘93” was the theme of the Spring Dance Concert, directed by Jeanette Sawaya-Lamb and Alison LeDuc, with technical design by Tom Delgado, sound by Mike Huggins and Amanda Basta operating the lighting board. Joan Brand and Marie Scott were student producers, Becca Derouin was the stage manager. Anna Garcia’s review in the Bulldog Press praised the 20-number performance, particularly Anna Mannos and Aimee Sage in a “sultry ‘Untamed Attitudes’” piece, the “wild fun” of Megan Rosenberg’s ‘Pancakes in the Mist,’ 33 couples dancing the Cha-Cha, Rumba, Mambo and other Latin creations, concluding with a ‘West Side Story’ piece. “It once again lived up to its reputation as being the best high school dance production of the year,” Garcia boasted. Senior dancers included Joan Brand, Albertina Cabal, Jill Carpenter, Joan Carpenter, Emily Cvar, Jennifer Daigle, Ayan Farah, Katie Flattery, Yvonne Howe, Sarah Lubbers, Chandler Lund, Rachele McCarthey, Melissa Miller, Christy Nelleson, Jennifer Pannunzio, Stefanie Paulson, Misti Perez, Consuelo Reynoso, Naomi Roelofs, Lisa Schneckloth, Marie Scott and Megan Williams. The Bulldog Press also wrote a feature story about the dancing aspirations of Naomi Roelofs.
Senior Bill MacQueen brought his dance class from the University of Utah – the Ballet West Conservatory — to Judge to perform three ballet pieces, saying he wanted “to give something back” to the school. Apparently he did. The Bulldog Press reported MacQueen “astounded Judge with his performance.” He had studied ballet for five years and appeared in Ballet West’s “Nutcracker.”
Sean de Four was elected student body president for the 1993-94 school year, the first African-American to hold that position. “I am proud to be the first black Student Body President,” he told Bulldog Press writer Adia Waldburger. “It shows progress.” His fellow officers were Angela Parenti and Gregory Hopkins.
Plays

There was one problem with the show, joked Layman, a senior, to the Bulldog Press. “I have to kiss Tony Furano six times,” she said. The third night of the show was postponed for a week because of heavy snow and bad road conditions.
Delgado trimmed the spring show to one hour for the region one-act play competition and he also switched the roles played by Tony Furano and Jay Perry. Furano ended up winning the “Best Character Actor” award. Also in the one-act play, “Dark of the Moon,” were Susan Weaver and Chuck Veltri. In other drama competitions, state-qualifying performances were turned in by the team of Jenn Redle and Peter Starnsky, Alyssa Thirsk in mime, Perry in mono-acting and Meg Spencer in humorous interpretation.
Sports
Coach John Colosimo’s football team broke an 11-game winless string that stretched back to the fall of 1990 when junior David Ravarino kicked a 31-yard field goal with three seconds remaining to lift the Bulldogs to a 12-10 victory over Jordan. Judge’s Jimmy Reynolds had recovered a fumble on the Bulldog 40-yard line with 1:29 left. The kick was Ravarino’s second successful field goal and added to the six points produced by a 30-yard touchdown run earlier by J.B. Littlefield. When Ravarino’s kick sailed through the uprights, fans and sideline players rushed onto the field, picking up a 15-yard penalty on the kickoff, but Jordan could not return it for a touchdown and the winless streak was over. “It was totally awesome because [fans] haven’t stormed the field in so long. The penalty didn’t hurt us,” said Sam Maio, one of three co-captains along with Geoff Wallin and Tony Stone. Added Bill Trentman: “Running down to the field, I almost cried.” The Bulldog Press celebrated the win with a front-page photograph by Pat Kelly of the scoreboard showing Judge the victor. The win came after Judge looked improved in an opening week loss, 20-7 to East. Backup quarterback Ravarino (in after an injury to starter Billy Roche) scored the only Bulldog touchdown on a 1-yard run after Anthony Jefferies moved the ball into scoring position with a 43-yard sprint on a pitchout. Judge won for a second time on Homecoming when Roche intercepted a pass on fourth-and-goal from the Bulldog, preserving a 20-14 victory over Murray. The Bulldogs went on to finish fifth in region with a 3-6 record, pitting them against top-ranked Mountain Crest in round one of the 3-A playoffs. Despite being a 35-point underdog, Judge put up a good effort before bowing 28-19. Four players made All-Region – Roche, Ron Lucero, Luis Lovato and Jason Johnson. Other key players for Colosimo were Anthony Jefferies, Dominick Jefferies, Mike Gallegos, Andy Bilanzich, T.J. Greenwood, Adam Achter, Ron Johnson, Tyler Jackson, Duane de Four and Sam Maio.
The girls tennis team advanced competitors to four of the five finals matches at the 3-A state tournament, but had to settle for second place each time. Judge players, it seemed, could beat virtually every other 3-A player out there – except for their counterparts from Ogden, who prevailed in all four matches to give the Tigers the state title with 30 points. The Bulldogs were second with 18. Coach Bob Juhasz advanced two singles players and both doubles teams to the finals, but all four lost against Ogden adversaries. Judge finalists were sophomore Christina Tonin at No. 2 singles, senior Erin Hartigan at No. 3, the No. 1 doubles team of Elizabeth Henry and Heather Bourne and the No. 2 doubles team of Carrie Christensen and Becky Ellis. Junior Mari Hrebenar lost in the semifinals of No. 1 singles. The team also featured Corina Sorenson, Sarah Henderson and Becky Ellis. June Matheson also helped coached the team.
Dan Quinn began his lengthy tenure as coach of the boys and girls cross country teams, replacing Eric Houle, who took a job at Southern Utah University. The Bulldogs finished fifth in the 3-A meet at Sugarhouse Park, compiling 151 points; Spanish Fork won with 89. Mike Klass was Quinn’s top runner, finishing second in the 3-A meet in 15:44.1, four seconds behind the champion. Team co-captain Brandon Allen was 23rd, Jeremy Ortega 33rd, Lenny Brewer 43rd, Aleko Campus 59th and co-captain Scott Ambre 63rd. Also running for the Bulldogs were Mike Givens, Jeremiah Calame, Todd Mathes, Ryan Levier, Matt Sause, Zach Koucos, Craig Britter, Pablo Gotay, Pat Kelly, Eric Pedley, Mark Paoletti, Sean McMahon, Matt Frederickson, Pete Stransky, Bryan Borchers, Ed Bennett, Jeff Jackson, Sam Chipman, Robert Ithurald, Aaron Ballard and Will Knight.
For the girls cross country team, Christy Shea was the top finisher at the 3-A meet, placing 24th, one position ahead of teammate Bridget Thomas. The Bulldogs finished with 136 points, an even 100 behind titlist Mountain Crest. Team captain Lisa Schneckloth was 28th, Audrey Self 29th and Yvonne Howe 35th. They were joined on varsity by seniors Susan Nowell and Amy Roberts. Other runners were Charlotte White, Tallee Weldele, Sarah Richey, Charlotte Sanders, Heather Julian, Erin Gras, Becky Herold, Debbie Duricy, Kristin Frandsen, Kerrie Levier, Renee Betit, Andrea Sadler, Clare Wallin and Kristin Derr.
Coach Kim Frandsen’s volleyball squad was young, with only three seniors – captain Natalie Swain, Melissa Miller and Holly Barber – and two juniors to go with 10 sophomores. The result was a 1-13 record, but that win came against Jordan in the final match, 11-15, 15-11, 15-9. “We didn’t pull off a lot of victories, but all in all, we had a great time,” said Barber. Underclasswomen on the team were Bridget Walsh, Cami Barker, Sarah Hood, Piper Hartt, Jodie Shiotani, Stephanie Blum, Dani Bevans, Lexie Sessions, Tiffany Quinn, Emily McRae, Nicole Kaswell, Lindsay Bevans, Dee Lindquist and Somyr McLean.
The girls soccer team advanced to the quarterfinals of the 3-A state tournament only to lose to Ben Lomond in a shootout, four goals to three. Coach Wayne Voorhes’s team was led by co-captains Beth Hildebrand, Kari Smith and Lisa Schneckloth and also featured Amy Stuyvesant, Jenny Stanchfield, Tiffany Moore, Aly Hill, Katie Hamilton, Albertina Cabal, Kari Fuller, Laura Sida, Alison Pitt, Amy Stuyvesant, Rebecca Wilson, Delcia Hoge, Katie Woolley, Simriti Kappus, Gea Fredericks, Tiffany Moore, Amy Howa, Bonnie Tierney, Monique Floyd, Katie Ellis and Kelly Alamilla. Injuries plagued the team, with Smith, Hildebrand, Cabal and junior Tiffany Quinn all missing games. Bill Hoge was assistant coach.
Coached by Dennis Dunlap, the golf team did not place at state. Its top players were seniors Tom Le Duc, Joey Zone, Brian Dalton and Clay Cutshall plus sophomore Andy Schroeder. The team’s three girls were Megan Smith, Amanda Brown and Becky Smith.
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, CHAMPIONS – The girls swimming team won its first state title and made it back-to-back “Coach of the Year” honors for Coach Casey Jackson. After losing out on the title by one point in the previous year, the girls compiled 350 points in the BYU Natatorium to edge Cedar High by 10.5 points for the 3-A championship. “The girls did everything I told them we had to do to take state,” said Jackson, whose girls were in third place entering the second and final day of the meet. “Everyone came through.” Individually, Ashley Smith was the champion in the 100 backstroke (59.69 seconds) and the 200 freestyle (1:55.31), Lisa Book won the 100 butterfly in 1:01.10, Liz Laney took the 100 breaststroke in 1:10.0 and Corina Smith sprinted to the 100 freestyle title 56.01 seconds). The 400 freestyle relay team (Lisa Book, Corina Smith, Susan Nowell and Ashley Smith) was victorious with a 3-A record time of 3:43.81 and the 200 freestyle relay team also won (1:44), barely beating Cedar behind the efforts of Kate Leonard, Corina Smith, Susan Nowell and Lisa Book, who entered the anchor leg in third place but came on strong to pass the leaders and determine the team outcome. The medley relay team of Liz Laney, Ashley Smith, Becca Naylor and Kate Leonard also took state. Shere Moeller added valuable points with her second-place finish behind Laney in the breaststroke, while captain Nowell was sixth in the 100 free. Megan Williams and Megan Petersen also contributed points. The Swimming and Diving Coaches Association named Ashley Smith the Outstanding 3-A Female Athlete. Rounding out the state championship squad were Ashley Razor, Carrie Holt, Tracey Pera, Jaime Fisher, Lexy Sessions, Amanda Moxley, Holly Barber, Deidre Lombardi, Nara McCasland, Britt Taylor, Denise Pera, Shere Moeller, Kelly Nelson, Sara Givens, Catherine Tucker, Becca Naylor, captain Susan Nowell, Corina Smith, Nicole Bethers, Piper Rhodes, Kate Leonard, Julie Lachowski and Ashley Smith.
STATE CHAMPIONS – Joey Zone was honored as the Outstanding 3-A Male Athlete for the boys swimming team after he and Carter Young each captured state titles to lead Judge to second place at the 3-A state meet, won handily by Murray with 381 points. Judge had 304. Team captain Zone captured the 100 backstroke crown in record-setting time (53.12 seconds) and added a second state title in the 50 freestyle (21.77 seconds). He also figured prominently in the state championships collected by the 400 freestyle relay team (Zone, Young, Andrew Chiodo and Jeff Perrick) and the 200 relay squad (Jeff Louder, Perrick, Young and Zone). Young won the 100 butterfly title in 53.45 seconds (Peter Duberow was fourth) and was second in the 500 freestyle. Louder, a freshman, added third-place points in the 50 free and the 100 free, while Andew Chiodo pitched in sixth-place points in the 100 free. Other members of Coach Casey Jackson’s team were Marc Mejia, Ryan Levier, Matt Schelble, Michael Westley, John Media, Matt Sause, Mike Givens and Jon Howe.
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP – The boys hockey team captured the state high school championship, beating Highland twice to secure the title. The clincher for Coach Andy Deiss’s Bulldogs came on a Matt Wolach goal with seven minutes left, snapping a 2-2 tie. Senior goalie Jackson Adams protected that lead the rest of the way with help from defensemen Greg Hoge, Tonino Copene and Josh Hutchinson. Wolach’s goal, off an assist by Jeremiah Johnston, was his second of the game. He gave Judge a 1-0 first period lead, but Highland came back to take a 2-1 lead before Adam Walker used an assist from Mike MacDonald to tie it in the second period. Judge forced the showdown by earlier beating the Rams 6-2, led by a pair of goals by Jason Furness. Magnus Edling also scored a key goal to put the game out of reach. Other key players were Chris Johnson, Weston Noyes, Brendan Reimer, Chris Pike, Tyler Davis, Tom Kyler, Chris Johnston, Andy Sexton, Josh Hutchinson, Sean Walker and Judge Leverich.
More than 100 former players turned out as Judge honored boys basketball coach (also academic vice principal and AP Calculus teacher) Jim Yerkovich on completing a quarter century of coaching. “The kids I’ve been able to coach make up my fondest memories of the time I’ve been here,” Yerkovich told the Intermountain Catholic. “I also have a great fondness for my math students as well.” He said he’d been asked to quit coaching and to focus on being a vice principal, but said no. “I couldn’t give up basketball.” Yerkovich’s 1992-93 squad was built around 6-foot-10 Australian Ben Melmeth, who was joined by seniors Zach Pino, Jim Murray, Jason Scales and Anthony Gardner, juniors Jimmy Reynolds, Justin Henderson and T.J. Greenwood, 5-7 sophomore Tim Gardner, Andre Thompson and Jonas Chatterton. The Bulldogs finished second in region with a 10-4 record, 14-6 overall heading into the 3-A tournament. Judge beat Sky View in the first round, 66-44, but its title hopes disappeared with a 48-42 loss to Ogden. Payson then beat Yerkovich’s squad in the consolation bracket, 60-57. A season highlight occurred against Bountiful when Melmeth hauled down 31 rebounds, one shy of the state record. His season total of 410 was third highest in state history. That gave Judge the second-through-fourth highest season rebounding totals -- Micah Peters (413 in 1988) and Tony Sheeran (409 in 1977). Tops was Barry Gardner of Dugway (466 in 1975). Before his senior season, Melmeth committed to play basketball at the University of Utah, the second big recruit for the Utes. Utah earlier signed Keith Van Horn and had Judge graduate Jimmy Soto already on the roster. Melmeth distinguished himself at the Alhambra Catholic Invitational Tournament in Maryland, scoring 28 points and pulling down nine rebounds in an opening 56-49 loss to Roman Catholic High School of Philadelphia. Judge later beat Bishop Walsh 59-46 and Towson Catholic 53-46 to claim the consolation crown in Yerkovich’s sixth trip to the prestigious tournament. Anthony Gardner received the tournament’s “Sportsmanship Award.” Melmeth was named “Mr. Basketball” in Utah by the Deseret News and was the weekly Green Sheet’s Most Valuable Player among the eight high schools it covered. Aaron Guss wrapped up a four-year career as the team manager. Coached by Tom Bettin, the freshman boys basketball team lost in double overtime to American Fork in the finals of its tournament at Judge.
Senior Erin Hartigan was the leading scorer for Coach Chris Green’s girls basketball team, which also featured seniors Carrie Christensen and Melissa Miller and junior Alethia Bapis. The team started slowly but showed improvement throughout the season with the development of players such as Chelsea Acosta, Aly Hill and Stephanie Blum, whose decisive free throw beat Jordan. The team beat Murray in a qualifying game for the 3-A state tournament, 55-44, but then dropped its opener to Pine View, 55-48. A consolation bracket loss to Springville, 53-43, left the Bulldogs with a 10-12 record. “We went a lot farther than we were supposed to,” said senior Albertina Cabal. Rounding out the squad were Stephanie Tonin, Tiffany Quinn, Kelly Kitterer, Aimee Le Duc and Emily McRea. Hartigan made The Salt Lake Tribune’s 3-A All-State team. Nick Bapis and Bob Blum were assistant coaches.
Judge dropped its wrestling program after the departures of both coaches, Chris Long and Mike Klonizos, Class of 1971. That was difficult news for senior Drew Dannels, who was the region champion at 103 pounds the previous year. He wrote an article for the Bulldog Press praising his former coach, Chris Long, “a role model for life, a coach who is my hero and a person who I will never forget… You have shaped my mentality toward wrestling and my outlook and attitude toward life.”
Mike Klass was fifth and Scott Ambre was sixth to account for Judge’s 11 points at the 3-A boys state track meet, good enough for 19th place. Under Coach Dan Quinn, the boys finished fourth in region for Coach Dan Quinn. Leading the boys were distance runner Ted Johnson, the champ at both 1,600 and 3,200 meters and second-place finisher at 800 meters. Mike Kaleel added points in the pole vault. Other track-team members were Lee Weyer, Mike Givens, Chris Johnson, Brandon Allen, Jerome Bennett, Jeremy Ortega, Matt Schelble, Duane de Four, Rob Nowicki and Geoff Wallin.
For the girls track team, Brigitte Thomas was the only runner to score points at the 3-A state meet, picking up fifth place points in the 1,600-meter run. Earlier at region, Katie McHugh won the 3,200-meter run and was second in the 1,600 while Shelley Brown was second in the javelin. The 4x800 relay team that included Audrey Self, Christy Shea and Yvonne Howe was always a contender. Other track-team members were Adia Waldburger, Katie Gill, Nicole Bethers, Lindsey Rindflesh, Susan Nowell, Amy Sida, Heidi Cunningham, Emily McCray, Jacquelin D’Arcy and Jodi Shiotoni.
Only Judge and Waterford had organized boys lacrosse teams in Utah, and the Bulldogs didn’t even have a full-time coach. They were led unofficially by seniors Jason Robison, Mark O’Brien, Dave Baczek, Jeff Carlson, Marc O’Brien, Tonino Copene, Chris Medley, Andrew Moeller and Darrick McCasland.
Tom Delgado was a first-year coach of the baseball team, which struggled and fell short of qualifying for the 3-A state tournament. Tom Le Duc led the mound staff, along with Billy Roche, Sean Clark, Mitch Lowe, Sam Maio and Kyle Offerman. Top Bulldog hitters were Joey Zone, Anthony Jefferies, Adam Achter, Brian Stanga, Bill Trentman, Dom Jefferies, Zach Koucos, Jason McDonald, Luis Lovato, Damon Carlson, Danny Solorio and Matthew Duran.
The softball team also had a difficult run under coaches Kip Sayre and Kathy Howa, although co-captain Jennifer Verbeck said the players “have a new positive feeling that shows we have potential and that we want to win.” Her co-captains were fellow seniors Katy Ellis and Natalie Swain. The rest of the lineup included Becky Ellis, Taya Ray, Mary Jo Collins, Tiffany Moore, Dee Lindquist, Lindsey Bevans, Rebecca Carney, Danielle Fielden, Bethany Ray, Annette Babcock, Megan Olsen, Dani Bevans, Hillary Gordon, Elizabeth Henry, Nicki Howa, Piper Hartt, Lisa DeVargas and Amy Howa.
Co-captain Andrew Cheng was the only senior on the boys tennis team, which finished in a tie for 14th place at the 3-A state tournament with one point. Coached by June Matheson, the team also had only three juniors, relying on underclassmen such as Jeff Scales, Chia-Lin Chang and Peter Duberow.
The boys soccer team had a solid season, going 6-8 in league play. Key players included David Ravarino, Matt Schwobe, Clay Cutshall, Anthony Gardner, Eric Ewing, Ryan Witherow, Nick Aloia, Chuck Veltri, Jeff Lachowski, Bryan Suter, Ted Burke, John Neeway, Jared Strand, Joey Alamilla, Chris Garcia, Ryan Stack, Cameron Stark, Dean Gordon, Mark Schull, Chris Paulos, Pat Jolley, Zachary Hildebrand, Pablo Gotay, Nicholas Hildebrand and Chris Medley. Dean Gordon’s dad was the coach.
Teacher Dan John won the 242.5-pound weight class at the Utah State Weightlifting Championships.
