Riverside rolls past St. Wendelin, 48-0Whitaker scored on runs of 41, 9 and 33 yards in the first quarter.
Kyle Bauman caught a 30-yard pass from Bryce Hodge. Joe Coulson ran in from 30 yards out and Jeff Castellante returned an interception 70 yards.
David Meade was 5-of-six on extra points and the first quarter ended with the Pirates well on their way to improving to 5-4 overall and 4-2 in NWCC play while dropping the Mohawks to 0-9 and 0-6.
Mohawks coach Bill Hrabak said the early deficit set the tone for the night, and that his young squad was outmanned and unable to overcome its mistakes.
"They (Riverside) scored three quick touchdowns on us and before we knew it, we were out of it," Hrabak said. "They ran through us and by us. They just had too much team speed.
"They did the same thing to our offense," Hrabak added. "We tried to spread them out and they just got into the gaps (in the offensive line) and we didn't pick them up. They used a lot of combination blitzes and we weren't picking them up.
"Instead of hitting somebody, we hit nobody a couple of times, and we paid for it."
Riverside posted the final points of the game in the second quarter as Chad Keith returned a punt 60 yards and Meade booted the extra point.
St. Wendelin's lone scoring opportunity came in the fourth quarter, but Clare Berry's field goal attempt sailed wide right.

The Tigers (2-7, 0-6) scored its only TD of the night in the fourth quarter when Clinton Ebright hooked up with Cody Pelton on a scoring strike.
North Baltimore lost its 24th consecutive MAL game and was held to 180 yards by a Chieftains defense that ranks second in the league.
LAKE 14
ELMWOOD 7
BLOOMDALE -- Lake put up 284 yards of total offense while limiting Elmwood to 110 yards Friday night and the Flyers came away with a 14-7 Suburban Lakes League victory.
Greg Grove opened the scoring for Lake (6-3 overall, 4-2 SLL) in the first quarter with an 85-yard kickoff return. The Flyers increased their lead to 14-0 in the third quarter on a 7-yard run to paydirt by Josh Tantarini. Jake Vandeen kicked both extra points.
