Well this was just what the doctor ordered for the Simsbury football team ... a steady diet of the running game. The Trojans (2-2) had three different players run for touchdowns in a 28-7 thrashing of South Windsor at Rentschler field in East Hartford on Thursday night. Simsbury limped into the game having lost their last two contests with both their first and second string quarterbacks out with season-ending injuries. Coach Jeff Osborne turned to a ground attack with Blair Zentek, Cormack Mulshine and Stephon King each rushing for scores. King's 43-yard scamper put the game away for Simsbury in the third quarter.
