Ohio South High School (Best GK of 2008)

[CokeMan522]

Who you guys think the best upcoming goalkeepers are goin to be for the next season in D1 high school soccer?

[msnsoccer05]

upcoming itd be Miles Koutny and ALec Gates...but right now the best is hands down Austin Morgan

[goggles10]

not hands down austin morgan. he is a good keeper but definitely not hands down. ryan hullings of centerville and jack arnold of wayne are right up there with him.

[floridafutboler08]

haha...NOT

[037542niner]

Ryan Hulings and Stephan Drain are my senior picks.

[MajorFan]

It's going to be interesting to see who gets the GK job at 'Creek... Steve Drain or Nick Koroscil.

Koroscil should get the first start since Drain has to pay for a red card he got in his last JV game last year.

Word on the street is that 'Creek has 23 seniors who will be trying out this year. Wow...

[goggles10]

stephen drain is bad. so it looks like bcreek is gonna have a weak spot next yr.
and austin morgan is alright. not the best. you cinci guys need to realize you arent the best

[floridafutboler08]

ok? who's better than?

[goggles10]

Columbus. since they dominated your top team elder 3-0. and i don't even live in Columbus.

[CokeMan522]

beavercreek varsity is goin to dominate..centerville keeper is no good neither is fairmont's....drain is pretty good but koroscil is better...he'll start and will probably earn a state championship..

[goggles10]

centervilles keeper is one of the best in state no question. Drain is not good and who is koroscil?
im going with centerville to win the gwoc closely behind by wayne or beavercrek

[floridafutboler08]

Columbus. since they dominated your top team elder 3-0. and i don't even live in Columbus.

1. elder wasn't the most talented team out of cincinnati, they made it out of cincinnati and they deserved to, but they were not the most talented team
2. last time i checked this thread was about goalkeepers...so what the ---- does your comment have to do with that?
3. Austin Morgan is currently the most decorated keeper returning next year in southern ohio both in high school, club and odp...so who do you say is better and why

[goggles10]

and odp?
he didnt even make alternate. and high school? how far did his team get?
his club team is good but with them in the da league they dont play any ohio teams anymore so we dont see how good they have gotten.
he is a great keeper yes but the best no question. thats where im getting at. jack arnold of wayne is a great keeper and same with ryan hullings.
ive played with all three so i would think i would know how good they were

odp: 2006 made the 1991 Region 2 squad, didn't go last year b/c of an injury
high school: what does his team's accomplishment have to do with his talent or ability, he was one of the few juniors to get All-City recognition and was made All Southwest, Colrain also had one of the better defenses in the city

i've never played with arnold or hullings so i can't comment on them, but in my opinion Morgan is the best returning keeper next year

[goggles10]

hes definitly one of the top 3 no question.
but the only thing that got me was you said no question he was the best
and thats not true.

[msnsoccer05]

goggles your opinions seem to biased...have u ever played with austin morgan or seen him play? you would know how good he is if you would have seen him...and saying that noone will know how good OE cuz they play is the DA league is crazy...they would handle any team in ohio fairly easily in my opinion...that league doesnt let teams in unless theyre amazing which OE is

[goggles10]

i have played with austin morgan and i know how good he is. but he is not the best no question.
and not really. OE couldnt even win state cup last yr. so they obviously cant handle every team in ohio. and with metro doing as well as they are this yr who knows if they can even beat em. it was 2-1 there last meeting oe. OE isnt as amazing as you say.

[msnsoccer05]

Are u kidding...do u know anything about soccer...do u know that OE tied the number one team in the nation? I think they could handle Metro

[goggles10]

Are u kidding...do u know anything about soccer...do u know that OE tied the number one team in the nation? I think they could handle Metro

cool? im happy for em. they couldnt win though.
never said metro could take em. you should calm down. re think your thoughts. until ohio elite beats the team that wins state this yr. i dont think there gonna be the best in ohio at all

[msnsoccer05]

god dude u r like rediculous...if u think metro even comes close to being as good as OE ur crazy...the DA league and buckeye league are like EPL and MLS its not even close to the same level of play...OE has gotten so much better since last year and seems how Team Ohio doesn't have as strong of a club as theyve had in the past OE would easily be the best team in Ohio...guess we will never find out tho cuz OE isnt aloud to play in state cup...i mean metro is good but OE is one of the top 50 teams in the country. This is like the first year Metro has ever been really talented and they have not proven anything yet...

ha okay. OE is the best team everrrr

[037542niner]

goggles10 slow your role. You are giving up too much information of who you are.

[soccerwatcher]

oha okay. OE is the best team everrrr

Who is drinking the kool-aid for DA. While it has many good teams, they do not have the best teams in the country and certainly not the best in Ohio. I don't think OEs U16 team has won a game in the league - which is exactly as one could expect as they didnt' do well in states or leagues last year.

Crew is doing well but over half their team is from PSA and the ones that do play from Columbus were developed by Team Ohio, who isn't in the Academy plus the Crew bought the U18 team from the Eagles.

I know this is about keepers but just can't stand the DA is the best ever -

[CokeMan522]

koroscil? he dominates...hes 6f1 and 205lbs, hes a beast

[MajorFan]

Hey Cokeman...you might want to ease up on your man crush on Koroscil. I personally think you're right about him starting over Drain, but the Beavercreek coaches are gonna make that call.

[037542niner]

Do you really want a keeper who has never played in a big game? When has Koriso (sorry for spelling) ever played in a big game?

[floridafutboler08]

isn't that how experience works? you start out with none...

[037542niner]

lol. At U14 maybe. Not when you are a senior in high school.

[Mason Owns]

it is a complete sham that no one has mentioned Justin Luthy, formerly of Team Ohio, now at PSA. He is the best goalie in this age in Ohio.

[037542niner]

What high school does he attend?

[floridafutboler08]

it is a complete sham that no one has mentioned Justin Luthy, formerly of Team Ohio, now at PSA. He is the best goalie in this age in Ohio.

he's not at an OHSAA high school...why would he be mentioned?

[goggles10]

he's not at an OHSAA high school...why would he be mentioned?

agreed. i thought about mentioning him but he doesnt go to jerome anymore

[HDvHS FAN]

hadn't heard that. where's he at?

[goggles10]

hadn't heard that. where's he at?

the brad freidel school

[CokeMan522]

Do you really want a keeper who has never played in a big game? When has Koriso (sorry for spelling) ever played in a big game?

actually he has played in some varsity matches...he played abt 210 minutes last year...

[037542niner]

Sense you are replying to my post...Where did the 210 min. come into effect? I mentioned big games.

[MajorFan]

Niner,

I'm not sure where you are coming from on this. 'Creek, like most high schools, has had a senior for goalie for their varsity team for multiple years in a row. The junior goalie gets a few minutes, but the senior gets the majority of the playing time unless you have a goalie like Luthy who then ends up at Friedle's Academy. Creek has two senior goalies this year, Drain and Koroscil. Drain played JV all last season. Koroscil dressed for Varsity all last year and got some playing time during the Beavers nice run.

Now, if you are asking about Koroscil's "big game" experience in club soccer, then that's a good question. I don't know the answer to that one.

[037542niner]

What club teams has he played for in the past? Were they ever in any big games?

[patriot_soccer]

this is ridiculous. You all talk about playing with or against kids. Most all of you are players in this age group, and therefore, are so subjective.

You are all fighting for your friends and teammates. Seriously, just try to be a bit objective. Because it gets personal and is a joke because its so subjective.

If you are trying to get anything out of reading this site, do some good for everyone, and give them some unbiased, objective info.

[WAZZSUP]

I've seen some if not all these goalies play...All have had nice games against good compitition. Arnold from Wayne is the real deal, not done growing or learning. Next year as a senior he should really shine. If Creeks 2 senior goalies take it lightly....Dorn ( Junior ) might pass them up, why keep 2 senior goalies. If there is indeed 24 seniors trying out....the odds of the team being made up of all seniors is zero. No way they do that to the program. There will be some Juniors on that team...and Dorn just might be one of them if there is a lack of effort at preseason workouts.

arnold from wayne is a soph this yr so he'll be a junior next yr. Dorn from creek is a great keeper with alot of potential. we'll see how the coaches decide

I forgot Jack was only a Soph this year. I know he played up in club ball,....even quit to play baseball for a short while I think. I may be wrong on that. Thank you for keeping me inline. The coaches at Creek will have to make some tuff choices...but it's better than the alternative.

[uppercorner12]

All of these goalies listed here are from Cincinnati and Dayton what about Columbus keepers? I happen to know that there are many talented keepers in the Columbus area...kids like Drew Sandbo(U-16 Eagles) and Eric Osswald(U-16 Team Ohio) who have been left out.

Drew is a nice player...his brother set the standard for him to follow. Tuff loss for his Eagle team to Cup Red last weekend

Sadly, I have seen both Koroscil and Drain play this spring, and neither is very good...both lose their head and do crazy things...lots of cards ...I've heard that a lowerclassmen may have the inside track...Too bad, because I think that Beavercreek is otherwise talented

[MajorFan]

They have a Jr named Dorn who could step up if neither Drain or Koroscil step up. I agree with you...Creek is loaded this year. They will have a new turf field to play their home games on so they won't have to readjust when the playoffs come. It's gonna be fun to watch.

[kyrbaco]

Austin is by far the best GK in he state.
And whoever thinks oe wouldn't have won state cup this year is an idiot and knows nothing about soccer.

[kyrbaco]

Drew Sandbo is alright but i don't think he compares to some of the other goalies in the state

[goggles10]

Austin is by far the best GK in he state.

how so? OE couldnt even beat team ohio the year they were in it. Teams like Metro and Worthington stepped it up this past year. Maybe OE couldnt even beat them if they played them. We'll never know cause there in the DA league so OE shouldnt even be mentioned

[soccerwatcher]

Osswald from Team Ohio and Olentangy Liberty is strong keeper as well.

[Fairfield4]

Fairfield Has a great varsity keeper in Jake Driscoll who didn't lose a game last year in JV but is now in a big senior year.Also a new recruit from Lakota West Taylor Spradling who is also a senior.Both great keepers both trined by 2006 assistant coach of the year and great keeper trainer Mikie Hubbard From Fairfield.We aslo have a new lanky junior keeper that was transformed from field but has alot of skill.Not only do i rant because I am from Fairfield but because their is so much talent.We're excited for this year.

[patriot_soccer]

If you want to talk about decorated, look no further than Justin Luthy of Dublin Jerome. He did not play for Jerome last year because he was at PSA in northern ohio, where he was a member of the Crew Academy U-16 team, and was also called up to the U-18 team and was part of their finish as the third best team in the nation.

Also this past year he trained with Blackburn of the EPL. He was consistently a member of Regional ODP teams, but did not participate this year due to the limitations of the Developmental Academy.

Not too many Columbus goalies have been discussed and there are many that deserve to be.

[westsoccer08]

anyone know why taylor transfered from west?
and i like the kid and everything, but i wouldnt go as far as calling him great

[Fairfield4]

idk why he transfered to from west.he has gotten better but i have no idea.Mikie Hubbard i think persuaded him

Dorn not only made Varsity....he started the Opener. I know Drain is unable to play due to a Red Card last year so game three may be different. The other senior may be hurt, I don't know. ....I was wrong in the fact they kept 18 seniors, but Dorn played well enough to get the game 1 start.

Arnold ( Wayne )so far has one shutout, but then gave up 2 goals to Carroll at home last night in the 2-0 loss to the Patriots.

carroll is a strong team though. i didnt see there first goal but there second goal wasnt all that great. possesion wise wayne dominated but took no shots. Carroll was very disrespectful (black guy up top was talking smack to the wayne coach) and the refs were bad. all in all arnold could of done better and will in future matches

I know of who you speak. He is a Metro player and I am disappointed in his antics. Players need to see that they represent not only the school or club but themselves as well.
Your preaching to the Choir.....I think Jack has great potential and enjoy watching him play.

First goal was a header by Umberto Sporanza

[minuteman123]

First goal was a header by Umberto Sporanza

i thought it was by daniel holmes?

[soccerizdabest]

I have to say that Arnold is a great goalie and Wayne is lucky to have him. They are essentially playing a player up on the other team as Arnold is able to free up a defensive position when it comes to taking kicks. I would easily predict that he will be on the scoreboard himself this year.

As for Carroll, it is impossible to believe that a class act like the Carroll coach will put up with the embarassing, disrespectful and childish behavior of the Carroll team captain. My prediction is that the Carroll coach will handle it--- if his parents haven't already dragged him in to apologize to his coach, team, the Wayne coach and the officials.

[okguys]

Hulings is head and heels above Osswald, just as good as Morgan. Austin bobbled a ball up his chest and off his face for the second goal in their first loss. Teepen from Oak Hills and Gates from Turpin are probably the other best keepers in Cincinnati.

Really - we'll ultimately see when college's come a calling. Morgan beat out Hulings even though mom was involved in the ODP stuff. Plus "head over heels" is a big statement. I've seen Hulings make his fair share of mistakes - pretty undisciplined style and slower off the line - doesn't have big time game experience like Morgan who plays for Development Academy Ohio Elite and Osswald who plays for State Champion Team Ohio. Everyone makes mistakes - so Morgan had his one for a while - maybe first game jitters - who knows - both IMO have better college potential than Hulings, although he is a good keeper.

[shutout20]

ryan is a good keeper but he thinks to lightly of things. he has a touch on the ball just a bit to long.

arnold of wayne will keep that team in some games. i could see him ending the year with 3-4 assists and maybe some goals. he is freakishly athletic and i saw him make some saves the other night against tipp. im not sure many other keepers would have stoped those. if the defence.(mainly kyle shrewsburry) can stay healthy i could see them making a good run at the gwoc central.

i agree.
but even shrewsbury is going to have to step up. without bourquin back there, there backs are small, even with him back there, there small. there really going to need to pick it up in practice and games to prove they can hang with the likes of cvill and creek

Colleges have already come calling for Eric Osswald, in the form of Wake Forest, Virginia, and Clemson. I feel like judging these kids by what experienced colleges think is much more just than much of the conversation has been thus far.

that's a knee slapper

[detailoriented]

I've seen two that are very solid. Morgan on Colerain and the kid from Mason.
Miles something. BUT when you people make your picks are you taking into consideration who they have in front of them. The defenders in front of a keeper make all the difference in the world. I judge by athleticism, body type, quickness, brains, etc. Just because you have a certain number of shutouts means boo if you never have to touch the ball.

[soccerdad]

Antonio Trujillo-Princeton-this guy is a BEAST.Excellent club exp.!!!!!

[the og]

detailoriented, you judge a keeper based on the saves and decisions they make in a game. Defenders have to do with the play of the game, not the play of the goalkeeper. I havn't seen on any of these posts where a goalie has been given credit for something that the defense has done, besides maybe a shut out. And have you actually seen these two goalies play this early into the season or are you basing your opinion from other posters. You don't seem too busy for a college coach in season when you have all this extra time to post. I thought you guys did this during club. Not very professional.

ditto........... it is not as if you can talk to the underclassmen. I have never talked to a school yet that said they have recruiters out and about at HS games ( regular season ) just looking over players....looking for that needle in a haystack. I have heard once a player submits his schedule....playoffs, that coaches will try to attend so they can see good players playing against good competition....not good players playing their everyday schedule. The coaching staff at most schools are understaffed to begin with....for them to free you up during the regular season to watch games....must tell you something : )

[futbol]

1) Gates Turpin the best
2) Teepin Oak Hills number 2
these two are very close call.

[SoccerAlum]

OE should be OO......Ohio Overrated

[soccerdad]

A good goalie is one that the defense he backs feels confident in. Too many
saves? Work on defense. Shutout. Pat the defense on the back 1st.

[FUTBOOOL]

come on Alum, OE Academy team is not overrated.

Top Keepers in the state are (No order)

Class of 09: Morgan, Hulings, Luthy, Oakhills dude.

I've seen Indiana coaches at two high school games this year so I guess they do get out an watch players they want to see. I know of someone who was contacted by Indiana the week after the game so it does happen occassionally

sean teepen has looked very good this year and is easily the second best keeper in cincinnati. anyone know what schools he is talking to?

what about milford's keeper tommy george? has anybody seen him on his game? a beast..no doubt

seriously? your coming on here as eagles gk and your talking about tommy george? wow

We'll see floridafutboler08 - time will tell. I know patriot soccer is a former teammate so he is in the know. Conversion of interest is another matter but I know the interest is there by some of the mentioned teams in addition to some others.

[shs_soccaholic]

as for class of 2011- Galloway(CCD) and McNamara(SH)
two very strong, young keepers

Great point....just because you see one....does not make you one. At the Creek vs Centerville game last week UD, Wright State, Wilmington & OW all had people there....why...because it was # 2 in the State against last years # 1 team. Not because they had nothing better to do. They were there for a purpose and it was after the Sept date that they can contact players. They were not out earlier than that.They were not looking for prospects by searching the internet.

Alec Gates is awesome. He is a threat from all over with his punts, and free kicks. Not too sure about the source, but I hear he scored on a free kick this year? He made some great saves last night too. Great keeper.

to academy, players have off games, mistakes happen.

to minuteman, how are you going to say he's not too good. he makes some SPECTACULAR saves. I've played with 3 of those keepers mentioned and he is without question to me just as good as those keepers. In disney he had colleges such as duke and harvard asking about him, but unfortunately his gpa is sub-par for those colleges.

its all about consistency and he doesnt have it.
i see him play all the time and he has great games then poor games. He needs to have better consistency to be on the top gk list. He just doesnt have it

alright now you're giving a better arguement. he does have some off games, but in my mind he's one of the best but i respect your opinion now.

gates scored the winning goal for turpin vs. lakota west. unassisted free kick from 70 yds out. he also received the shut out for the game. how many keepers can say they did both in the same game?

Thats quite an accomplishment! But my question is how do you score on a free kick 70 yards out with no one else getting a head on it or a simple flick?

ball cleared entire field over everyone's head to within 6 yds. keeper came out, misjudged the ball and went into goal.

many of these keepers have a solid defense in front of them to help them look better
