SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer Best Goalkeeping Performances you've seen

Since we've got a greatest goal thread, how about the best performance you've witnessed by a goalkeeper?

A couple that come to my mind in recent memory were Mike Gustavson (South Aiken) in the '05 AAAA championship and Austin Moody (Irmo) in the '04 AAAA championship.

I've witnessed a nasty save by Michael Flato from Wando on Adam Smunk from Beaufort. Ball was crossed in, Smunk elevated high above everyone else and the ball was heading towards right top corner. But if not for an acrobatic save that required a full body stretch and a stiff arm to put the ball over the goal. pretty insane save

Two of the best have to be Davis Jenkins in the State Final last year. He was just amazing. Then from this year, Greg DeMare against Cardinal Newman. He was very, very good and made several unbelievable saves to win them the game.

But the best ever has to be Gustavson in the '05 Championship. He was a beast! I agree champ04!

Maybe not the absolute greatest, but my favorite

Brookland-Cayce over S. Aiken in PKs (2008)

2002 Wando keeper (spacing on his name) survived an absolutely brutal barrage in the championship match to deny Irmo. No saves in particular come to mind (though the goal he allowed was soft [lost footing in a patch of sand]), but he was stellar otherwise.

That's the one!

Not to insult the BC keeper at all but that pk save is not that good.It won them the game though I guess so congrats on that

Matt Abee for Socastee in the 2005 lower state final game against Myrtle Beach. Finished the game with a ruptured spleen from a collision with Myrtle Beach's David Lloyd and still held on for the shutout. Unfortunately wasn't able to feature in the state final game, but I believe they would've won had he played as it finished 3-2 to Eastside (The Socastee player that was in goal let in 3 in the first half, but then scored 2 in the second half when he was put back into the outfield).

Two remarkable (moreso if they'd won) goalkeeper stories in one!

Demare and Weinspach are the two best goalies ive seen for chapin
