A few quotes that didn’t make the newspaper:

Burlingame girls soccer coach Phillip De Rosa, to Woodside counterpart Jose Navarrete at midfield following Burlingame’s 1-0 win in a pulsating showdown: “Jose, that was as good of a game as they come.”

More from De Rosa, whose team scored with 4 minutes left when Adrianna Ortiz punched in a cross from Jenny Haggarty: “This was one of the best soccer games you ever wanted to see. (Woodside) was extremely well-coached. I knew it was going to come down to something like this.”

And, from Navarrete: “We were committed to not letting Ortiz or Haggarty beat us.”

More from Navarrete, whose fourth-place team hosts third-place Aragon this week: “The Tuesday game at Woodside is going to be do or die for us. We’ve got our work cut out for us.”

Carlmont girls soccer coach Jim Kelly, whose second-place team trails Burlingame by just three points, despite an uncharacteristically modest attack: “We’re hanging by a thread.”

More from Kelly, on defending the PAL Bay crown (the Scots have won eight straight), and on how much he respects Woodside: “I don’t feel any pressure. I don’t think we have the firepower. For us to beat Woodside, it would take a miracle. It really would.”

Menlo girls soccer coach Donoson Fitzgerald, whose team sits fifth in the Bay, one point behind Woodside, despite scoring just three goals in its last six games: “The opportunity is there.”

Burlingame boys soccer coach Fred Cesano, on tenacious forward/stopper Landis Nasser, who notched two goals and an assist in a 6-1 win over Capuchino: “It was all Landis today. Wherever he plays, he’s going to get people to hate him.”

Menlo-Atherton boys soccer coach Jacob Pickard, on how injuries and academic ineligibility have crippled his side’s designs on a run at the Bay title: “All those expectations just kind of got blown out the window. We’re still going for them, but it just makes our job a lot, a lot harder.”

Half Moon Bay boys soccer coach Terry Fisher, whose team had 11 players at the start of Saturday’s game against Menlo School: “Considerations when scheduling a Saturday game: We have six guys working today. We have one at Popeye’s, we have one at RoundTable, we have one at Safeway, we have one at Burger King, we have one at Sam’s Coffee Shop, we have one at Tres Amigos.”

More from Fisher, as three more players trickled in one by one during the first half of the 11 a.m. game: “Thank God he’s here. (louder) We’re waiting for you. You might be the star of the game soon. … Buenos dias. Good morning. Get ready to go. Your alarm clock didn’t go off?”
