Sherod White ran for 200 yards, quarterback Devan Freedland passed for 125 yards and Khalil Jones ran for 67 yards to lead the Heritage High School football team to a 45-13 win at Cathedral City Friday night.

Heritage improved its record to 3-0 with a balanced offense that was so dominating, reserves played most of the second half. The Patriots scored early in the game on a 78-yard run by White, made it 14-0 on a 12-yard run by Javier Luna and never looked back.

Freedland added to the lead by hooking up with James Phillips on a 26-yard pass play and a 21-0 lead in the second quarter. Two more touchdowns -- one by Jayden Dawson after a fumble recovery -- and a 31-yard field goal by Luna gave Heritage a 38-0 halftime lead.

The Patriots gave up two touchdowns in the second half but added a touchdown on a run by Jones.

Next Friday, Heritage plays Redlands East Valley at Citrus Valley High School.
