Usually on the keeper, it's fewest goals allowed in district play. At least in the district I am familiar with.

Fewest goals is not always the deciding factor. A keeper can go 0 in a tournament due to outstanding work by the other players. She might not touch the ball half a dozen times in 4 games and her team win the tournament, but some other keeper get the award because of the enormous challenges she faced eventhough her team did not win the event or was scored on.

Overall, I think 'keeper stats' can be very misleading. There are many variants to the way some keep stats. I've seen some people score a keeper just handling the ball a 'save'. Most scores happen because the ball past 10 other players and then the keeper has a GSA. A keeper may be scored upon 4 times in one game due to an excellent team they faced, but may have actually had a superb game because the score could have just as easily been 14. Plays made inside the box, or cleared kicks, etc. have a lot to do with the keeper's performance. Overall, I think statistics alone are a very poor barometer of the keeper's actual play.

Where can we find a complete list of District winners of girls through out the State?

If you are asking about a list of all district teams, I don't think there is a list for the whole state. Even our local paper only puts a tiny "blurb" in the sports section, and not even on line. The best place to get any info that you are wanting is right here.

BigG, through your contacts, would you be able to have those with the info forward any post-season awards to you for posting? It is frustrating to try and find a source for this info...and coachT seems to be the ONLY place for good soccer info.

I'll do what I can, but most times even I miss the blurb in our own paper (or I can't find the magnifying glass to read it!)

 

There are a LOT of districts (14 I think) but we'll try to post them. If you have them, please put them on this thread.

Agree wholeheartedly. Just an observation on how it is done in the district I am familiar with. It's a two edged sword. Many times a keeper doesn't touch the ball because they do a great job of organizing and directing their backline. As pointed out elsewhere, the biggest problem with keeper statistics is that very few at the high school level keep them in accordance with the NCAA standards. You see some with a keeper having 25 saves with 6 shots on goal. Pure judgement on the statician. Then you have just the opposite, wide whichever way, but still recorded as a shot on goal.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
