RAPID CITY – The Aberdeen Central boys’ basketball program put together a solid second half to pull away with a 53-40 non-conference win over Rapid City Central Friday evening in the opening contest of the 2023-24 season.
The Golden Eagles went into halftime holding a slim three-point lead, but outscored the host Cobblers by double digits in the second half to secure the win.
Jett Carlson led the way offensively for the Golden Eagles, finishing with 13 points. Cam Olson came off the bench for 11 points, while Parker Lemer finished with eight points and seven rebounds.
“We made some shots,” said Central coach Brent Norberg. “Much better movement offensively and were able to get some clutch threes. The defense was solid all night.”
Aberdeen, which committed just 11 personal fouls and 11 turnovers in the game, out-gunned the Cobblers from the 3-point line, drilling six long-range shots to Rapid City’s three.
