Basketball: Judge Memorial has another good point guard
The next great point guard at Judge Memorial Catholic High School in Salt Lake City is starting to turn the heads of college recruiters.
Tribune correspondent Patrick Bahr reports that longtime Judge coach Jim Yerkovich is saying junior point guard Stallon Saldivar could be the 15th major college point guard from Judge in Yerkovich's 42 years of coaching at the school.
Yerkovich said that University of Utah assistant basketball coach Chris Jones (a former Bulldog, by the way) was watching the Bulldogs practice recently and went away impressed by Saldivar.
Of course, the four best players in this year's junior class are said to be Lone Peak's Tyler Haws, Pleasant Grove's C.J. Wilcox, Provo's Brandon Davies and Lone Peak's Nate Austin.
Saldivar is making a case to perhaps make that a top five.

Brieann Dimond, a senior at Juan Diego High in Draper, signed to play softball for the College of Southern Idaho today, according to a news release from the school.
Dimond also competes in basketball for the Soaring Eagle. She helped Juan Diego finish second and third in the last two Class 3A state softball tournaments and will be counted on to lead the team to another high finish this spring.
Dimond plays for the Utah club team known as the Magic in the offseason. She is the cousin of Major League baseball pitcher Brandon Duckworth, a Kearns High product who also played at CSI.

Actually she plays for Devastation, not the Magic for the summer.
