BELLFLOWER – The Downey football team overcame a slow start to win its Gateway League opener against Mayfair 33-14 on Friday at Ron Yary Stadium.

Downey coach Jack Williams was expecting Mayfair’s best going into the game.

“They’ve always been them and do what they do,” Williams said pregame. “They do a really good job at it.” • Chaz Gilbreath #2 of Mayfair catches a pass over Jordan Robinson #21 of Downey for a first down in the first half of a prep football game at Bellflower High School in Bellflower on Friday, Oct. 3, 2025.
