Aberdeen Central won the foot race at Swisher Field Saturday afternoon. The top-rated Golden Eagles beat Brookings to nearly every ball on the way to an 8-0 girls' soccer victory. Most of the goals came when Central players bolted past the Bobcats' defense for breakaway attempts or high-percentage shots. "A lot of teams try to play a high line even when there’s no pressure on the ball. If there’s no pressure on the ball and you play a high line, those strikers, we’re running full speed when the ball is played," said Central coach Merle Aske. "It’s going to be tough to catch them. We have some speed. I don’t think we’re the fastest team in the state, but there’s enough speed up there that if you don’t have speed in the back, you’re in trouble if you keep playing a high line." It took a few minutes for the Eagles to get going, but once they did, Brookings had no answer. Central scored five goals in a 20-minute span of the opening half, capped by Taryn Hettic
