Since their teams are usually quite good and they are playing in the Premier league, you can probably start with the CESA Premier keepers. Most, if not all of them are outstanding.

Here's my list, based on who I've seen:
Phillip Ricciardone Mt Pleasant U18, Bishop England
Brian Anderson Bridge U17, Wando
Michael Flato Jr. Bridge U16, Bishop England
U15 - I can't comment cause that's my group, but I'd like to hear your comments to know the competition. Thanks

BTW - Here's some Goalkeeper trivia:
National Record for Most GK Shutouts, Career (High School)
74 Mike Gallagher Christian Brothers (St. Louis, MO) 1994-1997
68 Justin Chelland St. Benedict’s Prep (Newark, NJ) 1999-2002
57 Dean Short Bath (Bath, NY) 1994-1997
56 Michael Rostin Wando (Mount Pleasant, SC) 1994-1999
55 Chris Lura Hamilton (Hamilton, N.Y.) 1994-1998
52 Jeff Gower Greenwood (Springfield, MO) 1992-1995
52 Chatham Rowe Wando (Mount Pleasant, SC) 1999-2002
52 John Miglarese Wando (Mount Pleasant, SC) 1992-1996
51 Hank Graef St. Mary's (St. Louis, MO) 1969-1972

NOTE: Rostin, Rowe & Miglarese were all coached by Mr. Dick Gross, Goalkeeper Coach at Wando High School

Pretty amazing that in the top ten are three from Wando!

Sorry my mistake the CASL game was a 3-2 loss all the others posted were correct. All the other games have been shut-outs. In the Atlanta Cup Semi's Mark stopped two PK's against Strictly Soccer out Fla. to win the game. Both very good in the goal.

I would say
u18-Philip Ricciardone (but George Rushe is outstanding
u17-jason mccabe (both the Bridge Premier Keeper and challenge keeper are good)
and I don't really know about u16 or u15, but I would guess that the necsa premeir keeper is good

I would say at U16 boys level one would have to include Greg DeMare from CSC on the list of best. His leadership abilities and communication skills are a league above those in his age group. He is contantly coaching and encouraging his teammates. He is very quick on his line and comes out with focus and purpose.

I would also include Joey Calandra of Bridge (U17 I believe, maybe U16) on this list. He quit this team for a while but will be returning soon. Regardless of opinion, Bishop England has three stellar goalies coming up in Ricciardone, Calandra, and Flato.

In the U18's, I hear a good bit about George Rushe form Dreher and I have seen him play, but given a choice I would take Brendan Smith from JL Mann.

For the U17's Mike Gubash is a small but extremely quick and talented keeper with incredible moves. I have not seen him in the high school scene arena so I do not know where he plays.

Both U16 CESA Premier keepers started as Freshman on their high school teams. Ian Rose starts for Riverside and Shane Hoover starts for Mauldin. It's no surprise that both those teams did extremely well last year.
