Morefield completed a play-action pass to Maurice Bennett, who fell inside the front left pylon for a 16-yard score, and Whitney followed a 36-yard carry with a 43-yard TD sprint to push the lead to 40-0 at the end of the third quarter.

Sophomore Tyree Riley ripped off a 52-yard TD run to cap the scoring.

Whitney finished with 111 yards on nine carries for the Spartans, who got two interceptions and a blocked field goal from Joe Tito.

Wyatt Allison completed 14 passes for 89 yards for Bonanza (0-9, 0-4), which got two sacks and a blocked extra point from Ammon Montenegro.
