High school football 3A preview: Judge at Hurricane

A PV fan | 1:49 p.m. Nov. 5, 2008

I was at the Hurr vs PV game. Both teams gave their all during that game. Myself and other PV fans are rooting for Hurricane to win the 3A title. Their offensive scheme is awesome. If they can keep it working the way I saw it, they can win it all. Their defense is pretty good too.

PV FAN 2 | 2:12 p.m. Nov. 5, 2008

GO HURRICANE, DON'T LET THE NORTHERN BLOGS GET TO YOU. YOU HAVE A TEAM THAT CAN GO ALL THE WAY.

I like Hurricane's team, and I'm looking forward to this match-up. But I do have to admit, I think the state title game is being played with the Juan Diego-Logan game this Friday. Those teams are both very strong in different ways, and can hurt you in different ways.

My take | 4:00 p.m. Nov. 5, 2008

Hurricane is something else. They are big, fast, and strong. They are simply too much for Judge. 42-14 Hurricane. Not even a contest.

Only 1 common opponent | 5:30 p.m. Nov. 5, 2008

Of all the 3A quarterfinal matchups, this is the only game where the teams had only one common opponent...Park City traveled to both schools.

Hurricane 31 Park City 0 (Sept 19)
Park City 16 Judge 0 (Oct 3)

The games were played with two weeks of each other.

While Judge has played better in recent weeks, they've fed on the carcasses (Wasatch, Union, Uintah, North Sanpete) of the 3A.

Hurricane has been tested by teams that run (PV, Cedar, Park City) and teams that have gifted passers (VV, MV, SC).

Tigers are at home, they're hungry, and hard to pick against. Hurricane 48 Judge 13 .

don't count judge out just because they struggled in the preseason. they have come together and are playing with a lot of heart. they have the athletes to make it to rice eccles again. GO BULLDOGS

Judge better prepare to sing a whiskey lullaby because hurricane has an extremely good rushing attack that has not been stopped yet this year. they also have an aggressive and fast defense, especially with that #54 out there, that linebacker is really fun to watch. they will be really tough to beat at home as well.

go get em tigers!

Skyline #47 | 8:50 p.m. Nov. 5, 2008

Get at them tigers show them what should have happened a couple years ago...

remember when | 10:36 p.m. Nov. 5, 2008

remember last year when it was all about cedar? and that they were gonna be the state champions, the best team in 3A... well judge went down there and owned that team. no contest. so don't count judge out.

yeah.... | 11:50 p.m. Nov. 5, 2008

except judge had a way better team and barely lost two close games before that so they were 3rd in region. and that cedar team was also very overrated.
but you do have a point, judge will bring it, they better just hope its enough against these tigers.

i don't remember anyone saying or even thinking that cedar was the best team last year or that they would win state. i recall noone even caring about that game or either team because there were much better teams in 3a. not a very accurate postthere remember when

RedManFan | 7:38 a.m. Nov. 6, 2008

Cedar was ranked in the top 5 most of the time last year but no one picked us to win it all! Then Judge came to town in the quarters, some of us under-estimated them and they kicked our butts!

But that was LAST YEAR! AND IT DON'T MATTER THIS YEAR!

Hurricane won't be looking past them! Count on hurricane being brutal, tenacious and victorious!

Rock on Region 9

1 common oponent | 8:02 a.m. Nov. 6, 2008

Agree totally with you Judge got in with subpar teams none of which are still around. They have the talent their offense has really struggled this year all the way around from line on down. Hurricane is strong see Hurricane in this match up unless Judge shows something different than they have all season but doubtful.

to:yeah and anon | 9:05 a.m. Nov. 6, 2008

I believe the head sports writer for the DNews, Ashton Aragon, predicted Cedar to win it all.

DH fan | 1:25 p.m. Nov. 6, 2008

It would be great to see Hurricane bring the State title to Southern Utah. They have a talented team that is strong and determined. I think this could be their year. GO TIGERS!

Region 11 | 4:05 p.m. Nov. 6, 2008

Region 11 is the best region in 3A as shown by their 6 consecutive titles and going to grab another with a strong morgan team and a very strong Logan team still alive, so all this arguing about cedar and hurricane and judge is a waste worry about basketball cause you're season is shortly over give it a week.

Re: region 11 | 4:30 p.m. Nov. 6, 2008

i wished that you could put the pads back on and relive your glory days too! but you cant so get you mind out of the past and give the teams down south the credit they deserve. Hurricane has shown up to play every week and the will continue to do so. I just hope that your boys are there to meet us at rice-eccles.

to Region 11 | 5:24 p.m. Nov. 6, 2008

Region 11's success is based on the fact that they have the three largest schools in their region. Logan has been very good, but let's face it--they really fudged their numbers to avoid playing their Cache half-sisters (Sky View and Mtn. Crest) on a regular basis.

I'm not from Region 11 but predict both Logan and Morgan will win this weekend. I predict Hurricane and Park City will win as well.

lol | 7:18 p.m. Nov. 6, 2008

Hurricane will have there JV on the field by the second half like 90% of all there games.I have watched Hurricane take the kneel down and not run the score up on most of the games.

Region 11 | 10:21 a.m. Nov. 7, 2008

Who says I'm from Morgan or Logan I'm just stating the facts, logan has only been in the region for three of those years. Yes Logan is the biggest 3A school but who else from region 11 is even on the upper half of the population numbers. You've got grantsville and morgan that are the two smallest schools in 3A right along with Ben Lomand who's pretty far down on the list. Bear River is somewhere in the middle and Ogden who is on the upper end. Morgan could switch back and forth from 3A to 2A on a consistent basis year to year, but yet they're always somwhere near the top. It's great that the southern teams are doing good. you're right hurricane is good but they can't compete with the northern schools. They're just like the Pine View of a few years ago, they can get there but can't finish

tigeralum82 | 5:15 p.m. Nov. 7, 2008

Hey its nice to actually get some respect going for the tigers this year. thanks PV fans as well as DH, and redman fan. region 9 will definitely represent this year! thanks for the support....and to Region 11... although region 11 does have a consistent record, your forgetting that since judge is a private school they can recruit from all over salt lake. Hurricane actually makes players out of what they have and they have done a damn good job thus far! Take it to 'em TIGERS!!!

Region 11 | 7:13 p.m. Nov. 7, 2008

Can't compete w/ northern schools huh? you should watch this game...Judge is falling apart. 28-10 Hurricane w/ 5 min left.

TIGERS: GO FIGHT WIN | 7:52 p.m. Nov. 7, 2008

In case you haven't noticed Northern Utah, the Hurricane Tigers are going to take state. So watch out because the tigers WILL win

"Can't compete w/ northern schools huh? you should watch this game...Judge is falling apart. 28-10 Hurricane w/ 5 min left. "

PV MOM | 8:51 p.m. Nov. 7, 2008

CONGRATS TIGERS!!!!!!! All the way boys!!! You can do it-bring that prize home.

Tigers Soccer | 9:57 a.m. Nov. 10, 2008

thanks PV and DH and cedar fans its nice to have your support we will do our best and give it all we have to win state!! thanks again keep sending in those comments!!:)

Judge Fan | 10:06 a.m. Nov. 10, 2008

Most of these comments are blind and not realistic.Had Judge not GIVIN the ball to Hurricane 3 times inside the 10 yard line it would have been a different game. As for putting out the "JV" team they played their starters the entire game. Judge's defense shut them down. It was Judge's offense that won the game for the Tigers. Morgan should make it look this week like Hurricane is playing their "JV". I predict a long long bus ride home for Hurricane. JD wins it all without a fight whatsoever!

lol | 7:06 p.m. Nov. 11, 2008

They had a bad day and still beat your sour grapes. So how was that bus ride home laffin. That was the worst they have played all year maybe it was a good thing not to make you look bad. Judge had a good team but they messed there pants.Give them high five to the DEFENSE. And that was the second game the starters have played the whole game.

Judge Fan | 3:28 p.m. Nov. 12, 2008

to lol: The bus ride back was not too bad actually. All I have to say is I will meet you back here Saturday morning. Remember we played to games on the turf last year which is pretty cool but there can only be 1 winner and to lose on the turf does not feel any better than losing anywhere else. So we will see. If that was not your "A" game you picked a bad time of year to not be peaking. Prediction stands Morgan 31 Hurricane 14....Juan Diego 42 Park City 6....Juan Diego 35 Morgan 21. See ya next year!
