Both Bellflower unbeaten in league play, with the Bucs at 4-0 and the Monsoons 3-0. The Bellflower Unified School District rivals haven't played for first place since 2006, when both entered the game with 5-0 records. Bellflower's last victory in the series was 1997.
Since both teams use Ron Yary Stadium as their home field, Mayfair is the designated home team tonight and wearing its dark uniforms.
