High school boys lacrosse: Early offense propels Judge Memorial past Sky View for 4A championship
Judge Memorial has one of the most storied boys lacrosse programs in the Beehive State, dating back to 1985. The Bulldogs were a part of the first Utah Lacrosse Association season in 1994 and had teams every year until 2022 when they were unable to field one. Within two years Judge Memorial has bounced back, and the Bulldogs program came full circle on Friday as it defeated Sky View 13-8 to claim the 4A championship. “Judge is back. It’s one of the most historic programs in the state and one of the oldest,” said Bulldogs head coach Jeff Brzoska. “I can’t do it without (the coaching staff). This coaching staff are some of my best friends out there and some of the best coaches, and I just couldn’t do it without them. “We put together a game plan, put them out there and let them execute. It’s been a heck of a ride, and we didn’t have a program two years ago.”
High school boys soccer: Late-game heroics save Ridgeline in its 4A championship win over Murray
After giving up a 3-1 lead in the 4A boys soccer championship game Thursday morning, it seemed like Ridgeline High was at the end of its rope — but this wasn’t the first time the Riverhawks were in this position this season. Ridgeline persevered and scored with 82 seconds left in regulation to take the 4-3 victory over Murray, claiming its third state title in seven years. According to Ridgeline coach Richard Alexander, the championship journey started on April 18, where his team gave up three second-half goals and suffered a 4-3 loss against Logan. Alexander said that loss changed the season for the Riverhawks.
