Will Faulkner From Lexington is a great keeper and can just make some unreal saves but i think that all around Goose from SA is the best.

Goose and Moody are the best, by far. Faulkner is a good keeper, but he didn't start on his club because of Moody. I think it says something when Moody played every minute of the state tournament (1st round, semis, and finals). Goose and Moody should have fun together at USC next year, they both deserve to take their skills to the next level.

I have seen moody, goose, and sweeten play they are all very good but sweeten doesnt compare in my opinion. Moody has a size problem and Goose is just unreal. Also i have seen Faulkner play moody, Faulkner, and Goose are three of the best in the state.

Myrtle Beach has a new keeper. He has great reflexes and has looked really good in practice. He hasn't been eligible to play in the past two years but has played in a spanish league and has played tremendously well.

Be careful when you say that a keeper has a size problem. I personally have not seen Moody play, but there are some very good keepers who are 6 foot or under who are very good. The main thing to know is can he keep the ball out of the net. Whether it's by leaping ability, or more importantly reaction and angle.
What is Moody's size anyway?

Moody and Faulkner both played on my club team. Both of them are great keepers. Faulkner was simply being unselfish by not playing in state because he missed a good many of games towards the end of the season.He played basketball.I have seen goose play as well. When we beat Aiken in the semis. He is a great keeper as well. Sweeten has the perfect roll at ben-lippen.

Gustavson's foot skills - Moody's hands - Faulkner's athleticism - EXCELLENT TALENT
All three GK's soccer instincts; These are three outstanding goaltenders and all have the potential to do well at the next level
I am sure there are several other GKs who fit this category, but I have not seen them enough to make any valid comments. Best wishes to them all in their senior seasons and beyond.

I'm sure that there are a couple of good candidates in the lowstate and other schools around that are just off the radar. This will be a good topic to revisit in about a month after everyone gets some games under their belt.

I think MB has a pretty decent goalie, but the goalie I like is Carolina Forest's Jake Brown. He has exceptional quickness for being a big guy. Strikers beware, he is 230 pounds of SOLID muscle.

Personally...I think that Mike "Goose" Gustavson is the best goalie in the state period. The battle is for second place between Faulkner and Moody. Faulkner has hreat ability to anticipate where the shot will be placed before it is taken. It's almost unbelievable. I was standing at midfield as he stopped 2 pk's from Craig Gulick and Jamal Geathers. Unbelievable saves, they are simply not supposed to be saved and he somehow made them. As for Moody, he never shows me anything when I play on the feild with him. Aiken game last year was a nightmare for the kid and that's all I can remember about him. I know it's bad but he hasn't done anything to stick in my mind. With the talented group of seniors we have graduating this year i'm sure he will be tested...

Or until the coach realized that Faulkner wasn't playing at the level of Moody. Here are a couple of stats: In six halves of play, Faulkner got scored on six times. In fourteen halves of play, Moody got scored on once. Interesting...maybe basketball wasn't the only reason for Moody's starting position. But again, I do believe that Moody and Goose are the best in the state.

well considering that they were winning at halftime pretty much every game and will played second half no matter what the score was the rest of the players on the field were second string and the goals were usually one on ones. I think no matter whos in goal they would probably get scored on more if they had second string players on the field instead of the starters.

put it this way, I have seen both play and Faulkner went to csc to get some exposure so anytime a kid has been playing keeper for a team since the irmo cobra days... it's goin to be hard to cut into his playing time. Faulkner is better than moody. simple as that, moody decided when faulkner could play this year b/c it has been moody's job for all these years. Yea you could look at the stats but thats not saying much when i witness the game and faulkner goes into the game in the second half when all the scub are in, you put them with an unbiased coach on a different team. faulkner will have the starting spot unless he misses for his other commitments like basketball. If Faulkner gets committed to soccer 100% there will be no talk of moody.
#1 Goose
#2 Faulkner
#3 who cares the top to are bad A

Comparing keeper stats can be very misleading because you can have a keeper that sits behind a good team/defense and doesn't do much and he can have great stats. You need to look at how the keeper organizes his defense and reacts when the ball is coming at him. Don't let stats fool you.

I believe 94 saw 0 CSC Burn games this season, and is not making much sense. The coach (Thad Miller) never coached the team before this season and was assigned to the team very late. Unbiased. Moody earned his position. He shut the Aiken Fire out in state semi-final game, and played very well. Not too shabby. There are no scubs (scrubs??) on that team, all 18 can start. Will was a great addition, along with Spencer, Ray, both Davids, and I hope I did not leave out any other new guys.

All this talk of Moody v Faulkner, the half dozen times I saw the CSC u18's vs the CSC U17's I though George Rushe was the best keeper on the field.

2004,
Height doesn't have much to do with it if the keeper has great mobility, reach and reaction. That leads to a false belief that the better keeper is the bigger keeper. The better keeper is the one that can keep the ball out of the net.

Corner,
You may have not seen Rushe play..........He has all the skills of a keeper - foot speed, hand quickness, aggressiveness, and control of the box. If he had the height he would be better than Gus right now.

Faulkner wasnt even at state and if he would have been i know he would have still split time just like always. Moody didnt play the whole game untill will stopped went to basketball and missed nearly every practice and will pretty much couldnt even attend most of the games at the end of the year. Rushe is a good keeper.

Well in my opinion i think Austin Moody isn't as good as Mike Gustuvson (Goose). Mainly beacuse Goose got a full ride to USC and Moody is going on an Academic scholarship from what i hear and i think Goose has a big lead on being the best goal keepr in this state.

Faulkner is the best keeper. I played against him last year and was amazed at the saves he was making then as a junior. Can't even imagine what he is doing now, I know he is playing basketball right now and can't condition and practice with the team, but I have heard that he played exceptionally well with his club team and that he and moody are pretty much even, but I think that Faulkner is underrated because Moody and Gus have been given all this hype. Faulkner is my best keeper.

Both of you shut up, Goose sign a National Letter of Intent to play soccer at USC. So hes going there unless for some reason he doesnt get accepted. But that doesnt happen too often to a kid that has been committed there since the beginning of his junior year.

Didn't Sweeten lose every game this weekend? That must put him over Moody, since he shut out Eastside, and gave up a total of two goals all weekend...I'm afraid I don't see your logic on that. He is in the same league as Goose, maybe not Sweeten and Faulkner because they are lower, in my opinion.

in the game this afternoon, both goals were stoppable, and in sweetons 2 losses, he got scored on two unstoppable shots and two mistakes by his defense. Also waynes defense this weekend was missing 3 starters in one game and 4 starters in the other 2. He also wasn't playing in goal for the 2 against tl hanna. I am just basing my knowlegde of moody from this afternoon though, so maybe he just had a bad game

SA GK 1, you just summed up what might be his fate, "his work ethic in practice may not be the best". At USC that won't cut it. In college, there is no room for lazy practice players, especially keepers. I don't know mike personally, but all i have heard is how weak his work ethic is. I did see how lazily he reacted to the goal that he let in from the CENTER LINE in state cup. If that ever happens at USC you can bet that he will be right where you are now, on the bench. I think he COULD be a great goalkeeper, but with the work ethic he has now he is as good as he will be.

All of you speak of these lower state goalies. What about some upper state keepers that get the job done? ive played against some tough upper state 4A keepers and i believe that dorman, gaffney, and byrnes had some great goalies! I think that the gaffney keeper has graduated as well as the dorman (not sure about the dorman keeper), but i believe that byrnes has their goalie still. The byrnes keeper isnt too tall but he can definately get the job done! What do you guys think about some upper state guys?

Smith from JL Mann, and Hoover from Mauldin are good. I don't think that Eastside or Daniel is strong this year in the keeper area. I don't know about Greenville.

When I was lil I always heard about how hard Goose worked and now i do hear negative things about his work ethic. I hope he learns how to work hard and plays well at USC he could be a great one.

First off soccerfan, Mike G. is at South Aiken, and they are in the upstate if i am not mistaken. Also, I saw will faulkner's name mentioned a couple of times. Well speaking from having trained both will and austin all club season i have to say playing time was earned and deserved. Austin played every minute of state cup. I am not saying anything bad about Will, he is a great goalkeeper, he was in basketball so that stretched his commitment level very thin. So i ask this question. Seeing as how a lot, probably most goalkeepers play another sport unlike most field players, does a goalkeeper that only plays soccer and trains all year better off or do the other sports keep his reactory senses sharp? I have heard defenses of both and i understand where both sides are coming from. I just want to hear your take.

you are right keepcoach01, I believe that keepers that play other sports get better reactions. Training all year can help but it can also tire the keeper out. Playing a different sport and not worrying about just goal keeping keeps your mind off of things.

I am not going to take sides, i think they are both very good goalkeepers. Each of them brings something different to the table. Moody with his knowledge and experience, and Will with his technical ability. Both are great athletes, which is why both have had success at the high school level. As for the "IRMO" comment, i guess you thought i picked one to be better over the other? I never picked austin over will. I said "he (will) was in basketball so that stretched his commitment level very thin." I never said austin beat him out for all the minutes necessarily. I have trained both of them, and i think they are both college level keepers. So don't accuse me of being biased without probable cause.

I don't care how good a keeper is - anyone that rips his jersey off and walks off the field in the first half of a state final doesn't belong in a conversation about the best goalies...

It could be the Ben Lippen keeper, assuming it's the SCISA state final. I think that makes it Sweeten, right? I guess when you hear people talk about you being one of the best in the state, you get frustrated when you, and your team, give up 3 or 4 (don't really remember) in the first half.

His frustration was towards the ref for making a call that he did not agree with resulting in the second goal. that same ref has thrown him out of 2 games (the only 2 he has ever been thrown out of. which makes it look a little suspicious)

Will Faulkners pk save in regulation was phenominal, rarely do you see a shot that hard and low and in the corner get saved, and he didn't just deflect it, but he caught it.

is faulkner the same goalie who replaced hunter after he graduated? if so congrats for being honored as one of the top three goalies in the state. if this is the same kid, i remember that when he first began starting for lexington that he was talked about as being aweful...there might have even been a goalie controversy i don't really remember. to come out of that much scrutiny and to now be mentioned as one of the top three goalies in the state...congrats man.

You are correct about the goalie controversy, but it was the older goalie (name escapes me)who some folks thought was awful. Will was the younger guy who many thought should be the starter. I do not think anyone ever thought of Will as awful; if so, they were wrong. I'm sure P15 will correct my memory if my story is off.

I believe the older goalie started at the beginning of the season, but split duties with Will. I think Will won the position before the season ended. Must have been his freshman year.

irmo4now - your memory is correct. The other goalie's name I believe was Chris Kelly. There was a controversy, and Will was a freshman at that time, and was better than Chris who was supposed to follow Hunter. Chris didn't come back the following year so that ended the controversy...Chris was a good kid though and he continued to support Lexington even though he wasn't playing for the team anymore.

Ok, so i think we are all in agreement about the top 3 keepers in the state right(differing a little with the order)? Now i ask everyone to do this, justify your rankings. Why is goose better than moody and will, or visa versa. Is it because you play on his team? Or is it actually for a "real" reason that one is better than the other 2?

2004,
Some schools to track "back Saves" and Tackles won. I know in any type of fantasy soccer games form Europe i.e UEFA Champions League and EPL they track those things etc. Kyle help me out here.
As for HS soccer you must have a GREAT stat guy to keep up with that! I think the only team in SC that could track that stuff would be BC w/ Kyle and his "stat Staff"!
As for the "backs" being the strength well I don't care wow good they are if the guy in the net is a "fish" you are DONE!!!!!

I'll go the opposite Shearer. You can have the best keeper in the world and if the defense is weak it won't make much of a difference. The keeper can't cover the entire net and can't stop that many shots when they are breakaways, PK's or deep inside the box. A good defense keeps the ball away from the keeper and makes the shots that do get through ones that are easier to defend.

Oh my dear drunken friend, Shearer. It is not even noon time and your thoughts are already muddied from too much of that rich, creamy Newcastle Brown Ale!! I have seen many a team with a 'fish' as you call it, in goal, who have very strong defenders and did quite well. A case in point: the SV keeper handles himself adequately, but he is smallish and not blessed with great speed. Yet, the SV defenders are all intense and quick and aggressive and have allowed maybe only one goal in 3 scrimmages and 5 season games. (They beat #1 Northwestern 3-0 in a scrimmage.) Surely, you cannot say that the keeper is the one who deserves the recognition there. As for the stats issue, it would take some keen observations, but it is doable. It would be no more difficult than the stats on assists and shots on goal. You just give a point or whatever for a necessary clear, a blocked shot, a force out wide, etc. It won't happen, but it is something to ponder.

Guess it goes both ways.......BUT I will take a good/great GK every time. Look at Arsenal and Man U.....Then look at Chelsea......Petr Chech is by far a better GK than Lehman/ Almunia(sp) and Carroll/Howard. Man U and Arsenal have been beaten my really bad GK play. Their backs are world class..but if you can't catch you are doomed!

that is not necasarily true, as in the Lexington BC game (I'm not saying that the goalie was bad, only that he wasn't tested and i believe is young) BC's defense played outstanding and kept Lexington to 1 true shot on goal, which they scored on. If you can shut down a team like that day in and day out, who cares who your goalie is.

Brookland-Cayce's goalkeeper is sophomore J.C. Gypin, who was making his first appearance of the season vs. Lexington after competing in the Individual Wrestling State Championships over the weekend. 'benp' is correct in addressing B-C's back line of junior Scott Busbee, junior Kevin Ros, and senior Tristen Seabrook -- they have been solid all season. Backup goalkeeper junior Carlos Farias-Perez filled in admirably during the preseason, but returned to his center midfield position vs. the Wildcats on Tuesday.

Thats it!! Finally some recognition for the backs, sweepers, stoppers! If I do so humbly say, that proves my earlier point about defenders and keepers. Without a proven keeper, BC defense has allowed only 6 goals in 4 scrimmages and 5 regular games. BC defense also shut down Lex. and only lost during that medieval torture system called
THE PK SHOOTOUT.

Back to the top 3 like keepcoach said. I feel that Goose has no flaw in his game he can do everything a goalie needs to be able to do. He makes every save and more than he should. He also kills every goal kick and he punts the ball very consistent and far. I feel will is second best because of his ability of saving stuff that should never be saved. Its like he has a weird instict of where the ball is going before it is kicked. Wills worst part of his game though is his foot skills. Moody is a great goalie because he doesnt make many mistakes and makes every save that is expected of him he just doesnt seem to have some of the unreal saves that goose and will have. Moody does have good foot skills but i just havent seen the amazing things that will and Goose have shown me Infront of the goal. Will and Goose are very good in the air usually and Moody hasnt always been known for that for example the Aiken game last year he really had some trouble.

Sophmore goalie, JC Gypin, from BC is pretty darn good if you were able to see any of the BC vs SA match tonight. He made an excellent save on a Jamal Geathers PK and also a broke up a few other break away opportunities.

Pappy15 - That's fine on your opinion, but JC Gypin, the B-C goalkeeper had only had one day of "soccer" under his belt before the Lexington match ... He wrestled all winter and only came to soccer on Monday (the day before match) ... He's our GK and we're proud of him and the potential he possesses!

#4 in my opinion is probably george rouch (sp?) from dreher. He, at times, is just as good as the top 3 but i feel he still has a bit of improving to do before he is considered with those 3. But luckely he has that time, he is only a junior. He will be the best in the state next year. Also, close behind him is the goalkeeper fom TL hanna. In the past 2 years irmo has played hanna in the lake murray inv. and in both games he made some incredible saves and kept them in both games. This year irmo was all over them in the first half, but could only manage 2 goals. I think i could go out on a limb and say he is the best keeper that nobody knows about.

Tonights BL-Dreher game should be a good one, and will match up Rushe, and Sweeten, whom I think is possibly in the top 4. (of course I go to BL so I am biased)

Sorry, maybe goofy isn't wasn't a very good word to use, I agree that he is the best, as I said, but he just didn't play like Will Faulkner, Austin Moody, and Wayne Sweeten. He is better, but his throw and other areas looked kinda funny, but were very effective. Not only did he punt the ball from box to box, but he also threw the ball all the way to mid field. He also was always in position, which combined with he skill, made upper 90 shots look like nothing.

Will Faulkner is a phenominal keeper and has great ball control and makes everything look easy. George Rushe is also a great keeper and doesnt get alot of credit for what he does but he really is pretty good. Benp said earlier that the rushe-sweeten match up will be a pretty good one. The only problem was that Rushe team came to play against Sweeten's Ben Lippen team. From what I heard Sweeten had no support or help from his team and the goals that were scored were from his team not markin up. Know i dont know But i went to USC advanced camp with sweeten and even though i was not on his team i saw him play and also played against him and let me tell you he made some pretty sick saves. I think that if he came on over to spring valley then he would be able to be one of the best in state. I really wish he would even though we have a decent keeper. Anyway dont diss on sweeten cause of this one game i guarentee you he will prove why he is the top in the state later in season.
My picks for best keepers-
Goose
will faulkner
Irmo goalie
Rushe
Sweeten

I hate to be pessimistic here, but I have doubts that Barnhill is getting a full ride on a soccer scholarship to Coastal Carolina. Soccerwise, Coastal is a very big school and the players on that team have very deep resumes. Go look at the keepers on that team and they are from all over the country with very strong backgrounds. Furthermore a full ride to any school is a very tought thing to get, let alona a good soccer school like Coastal. Unless Barnhill is ODP, or more specifically Region 3 ODP, it's doubtful to me the kid is going there on a full ride. Now this forum isn't the gospel on who is good and who isn't because there can be strong midstate and upstate bias, but unless this kid is on a top club team or ODP, I doubt this situation is true.

I play for Byrnes and thanks for giving props to our keeper steven picone. He is very solid and has the potential to be a top 3 goalie next year. But i have to say Rusche is better. Sorry steven is your reading this. I played with George on the 88 ODP team for two years and he makes some amazing saves. He also does well distributing the ball. We played South Aiken on Friday and Goose is awesome. We didnt really test him but his punts and distribution are great, and at around 6'4" any ball in the air is his.

I just opened this post and began reading, and some good points came up. I believe some of the best keepers in the state play for the sorriest teams. Just because you have a really high save percentage doesn't mean your good. It just means that your defense forces shots from 30 out. On the other hand, defenses that are weak, allow alot of breakaways and PKs, those are the "impossible" saves that the really good ones make, but because Northwestern beats you 9-0, people think you're sorry. I think that their is no way to accurately rate except to put them in Goalie Wars. For those of you that have never heard of it. Go to www.goaliewar.com. It combines all departments of skill into 1 big competition. I have personally never seen Moody, Goose, or Faulkner play. The best I've played against is Will Barbieri from Fort Mill. Imo, he is very good. But I think that there should be a statewide Goalie Wars competition every year for seniors to show their skills.

I think that one kid from Socastee, i think his name is Matt Abee is the best goalie in the state.
He has only one goal scored against him, even in games against Wando, Greenville, Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach, Pinewood Prep and St James

Whichiwhichi,
You have made some great points. Teams who are strong and dominant on the field will keep the ball away from the keeper soo much, that he will hardly see the ball. The point you made about a keeper having high percentages, especially on shut-outs, is a great point. Just b/c they have a great shut-out percentage, doesn't mean that they are the best in the state. People love to "put teams/people on blast" when the team gets their tails handed to them, especially the keeper. The keeper will get shelled, and then people tend to think the keeper sucks, which is not true all the time.
I know personally. When I played keeper for my team, I would get shelled every game, with the exception of two or three games. I made those 20 to 30 saves a game, and that is not exagerating either. If a keeper is making 20-30 saves a game, eventually something is going to get through. It's just simple math. Here's one of many examples I'll use: When I played Summerville my sophomore year (they were a lot better back then then they are now) I had 15 breakaway 1-on-1's and I had saved 14 of those 15. So it shows where my defense was at the time huh? Final score was 3-1 Summerville. My total saves count for the 4 years I played high school soccer was unreal, a total of 857 career saves. A keeper shouldn't have to make that many saves.
You got to acknowledge keepers of low caliber teams too, only if they deserve it. I'm not saying that all low caliber teams have the best keepers, but you can't count them out, and you can't count out keepers of high caliber teams either. In reality, like whichiwhichi said, there isn't really a way to rate a keeper unless you seperate all of them from their teams and rate them in some sort of "Keeper War" or competition in order for their true colors to come through. That would be the best way to name a keeper "the best".

rushe is the most talented goalie in the state. If he had 4 more inches he would be considered you guys say he would be the best which makes it all the more impressive that he is one of the top anyway. Ive seen him make some sick saves. Hes struggled some early this year on pks but taht was just bad luck and going the wrong way. He rarely makes a bad decision. As a junior and with a 4 inch height disadvantage, what he can do shows just how talented he is.

Maybe he had a bad night, but I was not impressed with the Byrnes keeper at the Mauldin Byrnes game. Mauldin put three by him early and he could have done a much better job on them. Their second keeper did a good job and played pretty well, but the starting keeper did not look good.

joeygeo i totally agree with you i play for byrnes and we need to teach our keeper to come out and not to hesitate when he is playing. I think if he had the goalie mentality or was more aggressive he could be one of the top goalies in the state but i totally agree with you joeygeo

Maybe not the best but someone has to say it, how about BIG "SNAKE" JAKE from York. He has now proven himself against some great shots n breakaways against Northwestern and Fort Mill. Also blocked 2 pks against Chester in OT.

Yea that Dreher keeper made an amazing save on one of my shots i didnt think he had a chance but he managed to tip the ball and it ended up hitting the post. i then got the rebound and had a shot to the other side and he made another great save on it he is impressive even without the height.
