A pair of second-quarter touchdown runs have given Mayfair a 13-5 lead at halftime of Friday's important Suburban League game.
Jerry Smith ran in from 26 yards with 3:40 left in the first half and Aaron Brown scored from 22 yards away with 2:00 left.
Bellflower's points came on a safety - the ball was snapped over Monsoon punter Osborn Umeh and out of the end zone in the first quarter - and a 25-yard field goal by Julio Portillo.
Mayfair will get the ball to open the third quarter.
