A much different game than the last time, but the general result was the same.
Junior Russell Payton scored 14 of 18 points in the second half (9 in the third quarter) and Jason Charles had 16 as Stratford overcame foul-plagued Bunnell, 54-42, Tuesday night.
Stratford, which defeated Bunnell 69-45 only 11 days ago, trailed by as much as five points twice in the first half and 24-21 at halftime. But then Bunnell started getting into serious foul trouble, and Stratford turned on the jets and outscored Bunnell 20-5 in the third quarter to win their 21st straight game dating back to an overtime loss to Barlow on Jan. 29, 2008.
