Donnie Rodriguez Dazzles in Bristol Central Victory
Bristol Central picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Donnie Rodriguez. Rodriguez did his part (and then some), rushing for 155 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 70 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'.
Unfortunately for Wethersfield, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Rodriguez. Rodriguez rushed for 204 yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.
