Koby Butler finished with 11 points and 13 boards, while Keaton McDermott added 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Jumping out to an early lead the Spartans developed an 18-5 advantage by the end of the first quarter. Extending the lead with a 27-10 run in the second, the contest was well decided heading into the break. Every player suited up for the Spartans managed to enter the game in the blowout victory.

Marshall Sellers posted a team best eight points for Rockwell, the No. 4 seed from Region 14. Brenton Stearns and Dylan Beck both added seven points, and Kai Curran finished with five.
