Bulldogs Win State ... finally!

For the first time in school history, the Judge baseball team won a state championship.

They sealed the deal this weekend, with a stunning undefeated appearance in the state 3A baseball tournament. With amazing pitching the games were won with 3 complete games (In the three games Pond, Carman, and Walker each started and closed their games), a rare achievement by any high school.

However the championship game against Juan Diego was a nail-biter for the Bulldogs until the bottom of the third inning. The Bulldogs went into the championship undefeated but with a struggling AJ Carman on the mound, things looked bleak, until in the bottom of the third, when one of the star seniors stepped up to the plate. Batting .000 in the tournament, senior Tyson Moll got himself into an 0-2 count (no balls, two strikes). But then it happened, the pitch Moll had been looking for all tournament long. Fastball down the pipe. Tyson Moll went yard; home run, 3-2 Bulldogs. After the bulldogs gained that lead, they went on to win 6-2. AJ Carman fought through a day where he did not have his best stuff, and came out with a complete game, and the state win.

Bulldogs To Take State in Baseball

Baseball season has started up again, and our Varsity Bulldogs have a 2-0 record, with a 15 to 1 victory over Highland, and a 9-1 win over East. Our Bulldogs have the very likelihood of winning the state championship with the excellent team we have now, and have the opportunity of winning the next few years with only 3 seniors graduating this year. Keep up the good work fellas'

Baseball preseason

I have been in the Judge Memorial Baseball program for almost 2 months. In those two months, I have been to numerous practices, hit countless balls, and thrown a million balls. Considering that try-outs are still in a month, this is a very vigorous training regiment for a freshman. Getting up at five every morning, weightlifting for an hour, pitching in the gym for another hour, and then after school having hitting practice is an extremely large step from my team last year, but I feel that this will help me develop as a player. The coach of the baseball team says he has such a tight schedule because of how Judge has done in the past several years. Judge has been 2nd or 3rd for the past three years in a row. Lets hope their extra practices and intense coaching helps them get that 1st place trophy!

Baseball prepares for season

Judge baseball is ready for another go at state. With our biggest competition moving to 4A (Snow Canyon, Dixie), Judge has hopes to dominate the rest of 3A. Last year we were 23-5 in state and 9-1 in region. The year before the team had a spectacular season with a strong 2nd place finish in state. Soon we will find out how strong the program is in winter training. Hopes are high, but expectations are higher.

Judge Baseball 2-2 in Fall Practice League

The Judge baseball players are currently playing on a fall ball team coached by Jim Shipman. The team is made up with last year's varsity roster, and a few freshmen. The Judge fall ball team played two double headers, the last few Saturdays and they have a 2-2 record. Not to worry though, fall ball is a non-competitive league to get players practice playing a live game. This weekend they might not play due to Homecoming, but plan to resume the following weekend.

Judge Baseball, Preparing For Another Run At State

Judge baseball had a successful summer with some promising freshmen playing on the summer Varsity Prep team. The 17-and-under team had a good season, with some wins, but they battled with 4A and 5A teams. Right now Judge is participating in a fall-ball league to get players more game time experience. The off-season is just around the corner and soon you will be able to hear the sounds of metal on leather coming from the Weigrand Dance Studio.
