The Golden Eagles came away with sunburns and a split on Friday at the Mitchell Triangular. Central beat Huron 7-2 and Mitchell returned the favor with a 7-2 win over the Eagles.
"We were not consistent all day in either match," said Central boys' coach Trent Kurtz. "That was to be expected after a long break of 2 1/2 weeks. It's something we can fix with more court time."
Aberdeen Central started the Huron match by losing the top two singles flights before sweeping the remainder of the singles and all the doubles.
In the Mitchell match, the Golden Eagles picked up a singles win by Dillon Prissel at number four singles, and Aaron Lorenz and Joey Crompton topped Jacob Cersosimo and Beau Brown 11-10 (7-5) at number one doubles in the closest match of the competition.
Prissel finished the triangular with two singles wins, and the number one doubles team of Lorenz and Crompton added two wins.
"What I really was looking for today was our guys competing and we saw that," said Kurtz. "Dillon won twice and really competed. The same with Joey and Aaron. They got down but beat two really good doubles teams."
If the spring weather holds, Aberdeen will play a dual match at Milbank on Monday and head for a triangular at Pierre on Tuesday. The triangular, which also includes Rapid City Stevens, is a make-up from an earlier date.
