PIERRE - Aberdeen Central recorded its season-best score on the way to a second-place finish at the Class AA State Girls' Golf Tournament at Ridgeview Golf Course on Tuesday. The Golden Eagles shot a blistering 303, but it wasn't quite enough to make up a seven-stroke deficit to eventual state champion Mitchell. The Kernels (616) edged Central by three strokes (619) for the team title. "Words really can’t describe the effort that these girls put in today," said Central coach Kim Zimmerman. Central ended up with four all-state golfers (top 25) and were right in the hunt for a state team championship until the very end. "This is by far and away the lowest team score I can recall since I’ve been coaching," Zimmerman said. "To post a 303 on the second day of the state tournament, granted it was a good scoring day, but ... anytime you have four or five scores in the 70s and you don’t use one of them, it’s pretty phenomenal the effort that these girls put forth today."
