Alex Munoz scored from three, twelve and 58-yards out and Alex Gama had scores of seven and 39-yards.<\/p>\n<p>Mayfair took advantage of the Matadores second fumble when running back Jerry Smith scored from six yards out with seven minutes left in the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p>The Monsoons offense sputtered to end the first and La Mirada took over at its own 21. The Mats gassed the Mayfair offense on a 15 play drive, 12 of them rushes, capped off by Shane Blood\u2019s one-yard quarterback sneak on fourth and inches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ran it well, my line blocked well for me, all I can say is the reason we won the game is because of my O-line. Our defense held it up, and the o-line paved the way,\u201d Blood said.<\/p>\n<p>The Monsoons best play came on an 82-yard pass from Evan Hunko to receiver Theo Chambers cutting the score to 21-14 but that was the closest Mayfair would get as it was shut out in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>Next week La Mirada (5-3, 4-0) plays at Norwalk and Mayfair (5-4, 4-1) hosts Artesia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Johnathan Saller (La Mirada) \u2013 It was a slow start for La Mirada but a strong finish.
