haha if youre trying to compare Arneson to Osbounre, Arneson is going to come up very very short. Osboure is on a completly higher skill level

1- probably one of the best high school games I have seen this year
2- BOTH goalkeepers were superb. You cannot take away from either the fact that they stepped up and performed when required.
3- Penalty kicks is a crappy way to lose a game like this one. I do not care who you are. It is time to change the logic in this state!!!
4- Region tiebreakers, I understood that if Lex won it would have been a coin toss. Since there is a home and away series it should include regulation time goal aggregate.

Saw Lexington play at Palmetto Cup. Their keeper is excellent. Might be the best in state. Who missed the PKs?

T Varney missed on Irmo's first attempt, followed by two saves by Irmo keeper. The rest were counted.

As for the Irmo keeper...remember, he is a SOPHOMORE...Osborne is a SENIOR. With age comes wisdom and maturity on the field.

Osborn is an amazing keeper and came up with some awesome saves last night. I believe he also had a muscle strain in the second half of regulation play. I don't know if that made any difference in the outcome, but BOTH keeps played great games.

Actually Lex's goalkeeper was in crutches with a severe ankle sprain that require ice treatment all day. That was the reason he did not kick goal kicks during the game.

I hope he gets better soon. I assumed it was a muscle strain from the way he "ran" down the field after the first OT period. It was obvious he was injured. Prior to that, other than not taking his goal kicks....no one would have known. He obviously gives 100% no matter how bad he's hurting. Best of luck to him and the team in playoffs.

And to your point, it did not make a difference in the outcome

I wasnt trying to bring the Irmo keeper down. I know he's a sohpomore. Ive been to three Irmo games and he looks like he will be a great senior keeper/captain

I dont know about the Irmo goalkeeper but the lexington has on huge weakness(im not saying he is a bad keeper). I have only seen him at the Palmetto Cup(so he may have had a bad weekend) and there, every single goal he gave up was off of some type of cross or long throw-in. He is terrible out of the air.
