Rapids History By The Numbers: #24

I'm not sure why, but 24 seems popular with goalkeepers.  Our list:

Ian Feuer (1999)
Adin Brown (2000-2001)
Scott Garlick (2001)
Scott Vallow (2003)
Bouna Coundoul (2006-2007)
Kohel Yamada (2012)
Nathan Sturgis (2013)
Sean St. Ledger (2015-2016)
Kortne Ford (2017-2020)


So here's something unexpected.  Bouna Coundoul and Kortne Ford have played exactly the same number of games wearing number 24, 35.  Bouna played an additional 17 games wearing #1 in 2008.  Not surprisingly, Bouna shows up in most in the top 10 of most Rapids keeper records, but he has the best all time Goals Against Average in team history.  In fact, his 1.16 GAA is 4th best in league history among keepers with 50 or more starts, behind only Kasey Keller, Jimmy Neilsen, and Pat Onstad.  Ford only having a season and a half before his knee injury derailed his career so far doesn't really hold up to that.  For the rest, well Adin Brown only played 22 games, Sean St. Ledger was injured at least half of his time here, and none of the single-season players are particularly notable.

So you know what time it is?

I have fond memories of Bouna, walkabouts and all.
