WOODSIDE — A magical season came to an end Friday for Woodside when San Mateo sophomore TJ Johnson took a pitch on a reverse and scored on an 8-yard run in overtime to give the No.8 seed Bearcats a 20-13 upset win in the Central Coast Section Division III quarterfinals.

Woodside went into the game 10-0, having dominated every team it had played, averaging 41.8 points per game.

San Mateo (8-3) advances to play at No. 4 Live Oak in the semifinals.

“I told the kids it’s hard going 10-0, a lot of pressure,” San Mateo coach Jeff Scheller said. “That’s a really good team. But we’re battle-tested, we’ve gone through adversity. I told the seniors they were only guaranteed one game. But they didn’t want to quit and we don’t want to stop coaching.”

This one had the look of a game from a previous era of football, Woodside’s single wing against San Mateo’s triple option. Smashmouth, physical football. Plenty of hard hits on both sides. The forward pass not exactly shunned, but resorted to sparingly.

San Mateo quarterback Lukas Fitzgerald threw only three passes, completing two for 21 yards. But he carried 22 times for 113 yards.

Woodside’s Charlie Dalrymple was a bit more inclined to put the ball in the air, completing 5 of 13 for 108 yards.

San Mateo ran the ball 51 times for 247 yards, Woodside 33 times for 162 yards.

The score was 7-7 at halftime and 13-13 at the end of regulation. Woodside had 270 yards of total offense, San Mateo 268.

With 2 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Woodside had a chance to win it. Manuel Navarro lined up for a 26-yard field goal. He’d already made two second-half field goals and had demonstrated a powerful leg, booting kickoffs into the end zone. His second field goal had brought the Wildcats even at 13-13.

But the snap was low on the potential game-winner. It took the holder an extra second or two to put the ball down and Navarro’s kick was no good, sending the game to overtime.
