HARRISBURG – Aberdeen Central had a big day at the Harrisburg Dual Wrestling Tournament Saturday winning three of the four duals they competed in to take second place.
The Golden Eagles rolled past Sioux Falls Roosevelt 84-0 and Shawnee Mission Northwest 78-6, and stopped Tea Area 42-25 before falling to Harrisburg 39-27.
“It was a good day. Those first two duals we won 27 of 28 matches and all by pin or forfeit,” said Central coach Donnie Bowden. “We had a perfect dual score of 84-0 and the other was 78-6, so those don’t come around often.”
The day was just getting started for the Eagles.
“Then we moved into the Tea dual where we got a little redemption from the beginning of the year,” Bowden said. “They were ranked ahead of us in the state dual rankings, so that helps with seed points and all those kinds of things.”
While Central fell to Harrisburg, the Eagles also saw where they stacked up against the Tigers. The two will meet again this season in an Eastern South Dakota Conference dual.
“It was very good to kind of see where we measure up against them,” Bowden said. “They’ve been having some very competitive scores and they’ve been scoring a lot of points against other teams, in the conference and outside of the conference.”
Central’s results on the day are an indication that the squad continues to move in the right direction, according to Bowden.
“Everything we’ve been working on, everything we’ve been preaching, you’re starting to see it,” Bowden said.
Central’s girls competed in a tournament in Harrisburg on Friday. Madyson Gillen and Katrina Gibson both finished second and Autum Gauer was fifth.
Gillen had three pins during the tourney.
“Throughout the tournament she was dominant,” Bowden said.
Gibson also pinned three of her opponents.
“She wrestled very solid again,” Bowden said. “She’s always been consistent. She sticks to the game plan.”
Gauer returned to action this past week and also won by fall three times.
“It was good to get her out there and get her to compete,” Bowden said.
The girls are back in action at another tournament on Friday in Pierre. The Central boys will compete in Pierre Saturday at the East-West Dual Tournament.
