During the Summer
Rick Bartman departed as Judge principal, a position he’d held since 2007. He was replaced as interim principal by math teacher Kate Bills; she remained in that post throughout the year. Bills continued to teach one section of A.P. Calculus BC while taking over administrative duties. In announcing the appointment of Bills, Bishop John Wester said his goal was to create “a special emphasis on building community.”
Seniors-to-be involved in summer service projects included Mikaela Schmiett, who helped Habitat for Humanity build a house in Louisiana; Delaney Barnett , who dug drains, painted and taught children in Costa Rica; Christopher Payne, who helped people in Ecuador to raise and sell chickens; and Angelina Termunde and Connor Morgan, who traveled to Peru for a service project with Youthlinc, a non-profit in Salt Lake City.

In its review of sports in the 2013-14 school year, Utah’s “Prep Magazine” used photographs by Cassadey Fedel and Claire Cook.
The annual Utah Catholic Schools promotional newspaper insert put enrollment this year at 5,300. Not having to educate those students saved the Utah public school system $37 million a year. “Utah’s Catholic schools not only have more success helping low-income and minority students achieve, they connect the dots between their academic or economic success and social responsibility. Utah boasts the highest volunteerism rate in the country. National studies have shown that students who attend parochial schools are even more likely to volunteer, donate to charity and attend church as adults. Of the 5,300, 34% were minorities, including 18.3% Hispanic and 3.7% African American; 30% were non-Catholic, 38% were low income, 15% were eligible for federal school lunch programs and 98% graduated.

After an assembly in which two military veterans told their personal stories and a film documented the goals of the Utah Honor Flight, which flew veterans to the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C., Judge students wrote 700 letters expressing their appreciation to the Utah veterans making the 2014 trip. Among the presenters were Abigail Mancini, Joey Walz and John Garlinghouse. “When we take the time to write a letter to a veteran, it gives you the option to think about all of the things that we have, thanks to them,” said senior Caroline Holyoak. WWII veteran Fred Roberts responded to Erin Sleater and David James Turner: “Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedules to write letters to the veterans. Mail call was always a much looked forward to event during my time in the service. I received your letters while on the Utah Honor Flight. The letters mean a lot to me and I will treasure them. Make the most of your time in school. You won’t regret it.”

Sports
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP – Coach James Cordova’s football team won its second straight 3A state championship, crushing second-ranked Juab 63-14 at Southern Utah University in Cedar City. That was the second-highest point total in a championship game in Utah history. Quarterback Ayden Auer only threw one pass in the victory, but he didn’t need to air it out any more. The Bulldogs amassed 536 yards rushing on 54 carries, reaching the end zone nine times. The defense forced three interceptions and recovered two fumbles. “Our O-line was just dominating,” said Auer, who ran for three touchdowns. Bruising fullback Max Barnett scored four times and gained 204 yards overall. Michael Kearns also had two touchdowns. “It’s special,” said Barnett. “There’s nothing like it to go out on a win in the state championship. It’s the best feeling ever,” he said, adding “That was so much fun. That was the most fun I have had in my life, right here on the field.” Said Kearns: “Our chemistry is super high. We’ve been playing since little league, all of us. We just know how to play with each other, and we love running this [option] offense. There’s not one single star on this team. It’s all of us making plays.” Football historian George Felt noted that Judge’s 35-point second quarter was the most explosive in state high-school history and kicker Tim Hemmersmeier’s nine PATs were the most ever in a title game.
The playoffs began with a 42-14 rout of Canyon View as Kearns ran for three touchdowns and Auer threw for two more. The Bulldogs then beat Manti 35-21 in the second round with Barnett running for two touchdowns, Auer throwing a 59-yard TD pass to Xavier Price, Braden Pelly returning an interception for a touchdown and Dillon Clark picking off another pass that led to one of Barnett’s scores. The Bulldogs entered the season ranked No. 1, based on the return of All-Stater Barnett, speedy running back Kearns and linemen Ricke Maka, Jacob Cline and Pelly. The season opened with an 18-16 victory over Pine View, which beat Judge the year before when it was 3AA runner-up. The biggest test occurred in late October when the Bulldogs traveled to Morgan for a game televised statewide and came away with a harrowing 14-9 win when Barnett scored on a four-yard touchdown run with 1:05 left and Christian Elliss intercepted a pass to seal the outcome.
Max Barnett was named to The Salt Lake Tribune’s All-State team, which included only 25 players regardless of classification. He was the 3A MVP in the Deseret News and on KSL-TV. First-team honors in both The Tribune and Deseret News were accorded to Barnett, Ricke Maka, Jacob Cline and Braden Pelly; The Tribune also had Auer and Xavier Price on the first team (second team in the News) while the Deseret News had Michael Kearns and Nathan Higley on first team (they were second team in the Tribune). Kelsin Pupunu, Noah Elliss, Christian Elliss, Dillon Clark, Tim Hemmersmeier, Quincy Houston, Maisen Knight, Jesus Salazar and John Garlinghouse also received post-season honors. Academic All-State nominations were earned by Barnett, Higley, Kearns and Salazar. Max Barnett was the team MVP, Higley was its most inspirational player.
