From Greenville Herald Banner:


BONHAM -- Bobby Phifer had all four touchdowns and the Commerce defense gave Bonham nothing to account for in a 28-0 District 10-3A win Friday night at Warrior Stadium.

Phifer ran for three touchdowns and passed for another to lead Commerce (4-2, 3-0) to its third straight district win. Bonham fell to 0-6 overall, 0-3 in district.

"The offense was in sync tonight," said Commerce head coach Terry Cron, "We blocked pretty well and got a good job from all three of our backs. We still had some mistakes and need to improve on some mistakes and need to improve on some things, but it was a pretty good effort."

Fullback Jesse Boyter, who rushed for 88 yards, and tailback Terrance Callagan (55 yards), opened up some opportunities for Phifer. The senior quarterback rushed for 153 yards on just eight carries, including three for scores.

Williams was held to just eight yards on 14 carries in the second half, while Jones was limited to minus 2 yards passing
