One week after a disappointing three-point loss at Ayala in the Mountain West League opener, Bonita bounced back and put itself in position to earn a CIF-SS playoff berth next week.

The Bearcats cruised to a 35-0 victory over visiting Alta Loma.

BHS is now 7-2, and they’re literally five points away from being 9-0.

With a victory next week over visiting Charter Oak, Bonita would earn a spot in the postseason.

On Thursday, the Bearcats got three passing TD’s from freshman, Daniel Mielke, and a pair of TD runs from senior, Jayden Montenegro.

Mielke hit Noah Mikhail on a 2-yard TD pass to get Bonita on the board with 4:40 to play in the first quarter.

Mielke went 10-for-11 for 166 yards and the three scores in just two quarters of work.

Montenegro would rumble in from six yards out to give BHS a 14-0 lead.

It was the first of three second-quarter TD’s for the Bearcats.

Dylan Robinson reeled in a 24-yard pass from Mielke and then, with 2:20 remaining in the first half, Mielke hooked up with Ryder Cadam on  39-yard scoring strike and a 28-0 lead at the break.

Montenegro capped the scoring for Bonita with a 61-yard TD run in the third quarter.

The beast, Noah Mikhail, had 22 tackles, and picked a pass in Thursday’s win.

BHS is now 1-1 in Mountain West League games, which ties them for second with Charter Oak (2-7, 1-1).
