ASHLEY, N.D. – Aberdeen Central had three runner-up place winners on the way to a fourth-place finish at the Second Annual Border Brawl on Saturday.

Avery Bendewald, Katrina Gibson, and Madyson Gillen each took second place on the day for the Golden Eagles.

“I thought we had a decent tournament. We just struggled to finish it out in the placing matches,” said Central coach Jake Flakus. “Avery Bendewald, Madyson Gillen, and Katrina Gibson all had a decent day making the finals, and Lin Paw Jone and Lilly Nelson both had strong finishes getting fourth.”

Bendewald came the closest to winning a championship, falling 2-1 in the title match.

The Eagles will be right back in action on Tuesday when they host Huron in a dual at Golden Eagles Arena.

“Looking forward to dualing Huron at home on Tuesday, and then getting a break for Christmas,” Flakus said.
