Two-time defending 4A champ East was hurt by turnovers — losing four fumbles in the first half and throwing an interception.
The game was close at the half with Bingham leading 24-17. The Miners outscored East 17-0 in the third to blow the game open.
Junior running back Braedon Wissler ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns for the Miners, who are now 2-0 and will move to the top of the High School Football America Top 10 rankings that will be released on Sunday.
East (1-1) will fall in both the state and national rankings. Next week, the Leopards will travel to Arizona to take-on Saguaro, currently ranked No. 33 in the Top 100.
