The Daily Hartford team
Bristol Central's defense started slowly again Thursday night, and this time a better second half wasn't enough. The Rams lost 45-28 to South Windsor, trailing 25-14 at the half. Central pulled within 25-22 after an early third-quarter touchdown, but South Windsor answered with a long drive to lead 32-22 midway through the fourth quarter.
