According to Dave Easly here is the box score for the game.

4A State Championship Match

Irmo 2:1 Northwestern (OT)

Goals: I - Grayson Mullins, Sani Hadziahmetovic; N - Jeff Williamson.

Shots: I - 17, N - 11;

Saves: I - Austin Moody, 5; N - Matt Carlisle, 7.

Records: I (22-3-0), N (24-4-0).

I don't know who is right or wrong here, but someone is way off. I find it hard to believe Moody having 21 saves from 11 shots by NW. I did read that he and the NW keeper's showings were outstanding though.

Well being a player for private schools I will be the first to say they dont get alot of respect. Not many teams had a chance to this guy play but HHC Keeper Grant something? Is an excellent keeper. I guarantee you this...put him on Pinewood Preps team and they can hang with any School in Soouth carolina.

This is from "www.thestate.com":

Goals: NW — Jeff Williamson; I — Grayson Mullins, Sani Hadziahmetovic. Assists: NW— Kyle Neely; I — Christian Monroe. Saves: NW — Matt Carlisle (7); I — Austin Moody (21). Rec.: I 22-3, N 24-4.

That's just where I received my information from. But no matter which report is the more accurate, nothing can take away from such an incredible display of goalkeeping.

I don't think anyone will actually figure out how many saves/shots/shots on goal were in the Irmo/NW game. However, I believe both teams played very well and only one team could win. I have heard that Coach Savitz decided that the game ball went to Austin Moody. With 13 State Championships I'm not sure how many game balls went to the keeper over the years, but I would guess not many. So to me, if a Coach who has won some 13 titles gives the game ball to his keeper, that says it all!! Additionally, if you missed the game, Moody will be back again next year to display his skills for one more Championship.
